In the Belgium rankings Philippe Peters and Tanguy de Haan are named as a strike force that takes the form of 'IP celebrities', alongside Florence Verhoestraete who is described as a solution-driven and "contentious and transactional Whizz".
Moving on to Luxembourg Vincent Wellens ascends the stage. "He is meticulous in the way that he handles cases; he cares a great deal about the details and it is often because of his awareness of the smallest details that he makes the biggest difference in cases.”
As for the Netherlands, one third of the members of the Dutch IP ICT-team are personally mentioned. Clients and peers describe Anne Marie Verschuur as "extremely knowledgeable" and "always tough to be against", Fleur Folmer; as "the brains behind much of the firm's transactional work" and Charles Gielen and Richard van Oerle as "hugely respected doyens of the Dutch IP market".
