Pinsent Masons hires IP trio in Munich

Law firm Pinsent Masons has hired Alexander Bayer, Peter Koch and Jörg Khöber as partner, legal director and senior associate in the firm’s intellectual property practice in Munich.

All the lawyers join from law firm Gowling WLG.

Bayer’s experience includes data protection, unfair competition and “soft IP.”

Koch specialises in patent litigation for clients in the telecoms and medical devices sectors.

The lawyers will strengthen the firm’s expertise in the technology, life sciences and energy sectors.

Rainer Kreifels, partner and head of the firm in Germany, said: “In less than four years the Munich office has grown into an operation of over 50 lawyers with an extremely strong offering in the technology, life sciences and energy sectors.

“Our depth of sector expertise has been a major driver of our success and bringing Alexander, Peter and Jörg onto the team continues to strengthen our presence in the market”.
