Areas of focus
Why intellectual property?
Intellectual property is central to the life of any business. Supporting our clients on these issues allows us to be at the heart of a company’s creation and economic value. It also allows us to be as close as possible to their innovation and technological development. We thus support our clients’ value creation, and their creativity and inventiveness drive us, as advisors, to give our very best to preserve, protect, and develop these wonderful projects in the best possible way!
Favorite artist
Vanessa is captivated by the talent of Chinese artist Liu Bolin. Having mastered the art of camouflage, Liu uses his body to literally blend into the backgrounds of his photo-performance works. For her, these spectacular works are in fact acts of resistance. Through his systematic infiltration into the settings of his works, each more varied than the last, Liu asserts his rebellious presence in a world that tends to deny the uniqueness of each individual destiny.
