Our IP practice is at the top of all relevant rankings, and Ilja's joining us only strengthens this position even further. Her experience and detailed know-how is significant, gained not only from practising law for nine years, but also her being with AstraZeneca, where she became expert in legal and business aspects from a client's perspective. This combination makes Ilja an extraordinary asset for our clients and for De Brauw. And on top of that she is a wonderful person."
