& People
ROA was founded by highly recognized litigator and IP expert, Justyna Rasiewicz. Our natural focus is on complex contentious IP cases and IP strategy matters as well as all aspects related to the protection of intangible assets and counteracting unfair competition. We advise clients operating in a broad range of market sectors, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biocides, medical devices, cosmetics, construction, chemical, electronics, IT, financial, automotive, luxury, alcoholic beverages and consumer goods.
Our experience extends from acting in the earliest stages of structuring the IP strategy (including filing and prosecution) through negotiations to representing clients in some of the largest multijurisdictional patent and other IP rights disputes. Starting from start-ups, through SMEs, large domestic and foreign businesses, to global corporations, we understand the needs of the businesses for which we work and the importance of their IP assets. Our knowledge combined with sector-oriented, in-depth, long-term expertise – enable us to build a tailor-made strategy allowing our clients to gain market advantage and achieve their business goals.
