Plasseraud IP speak about merging with Candé Blanchard Ducamp

The law firms Plasseraud Avocats and Candé Blanchard Ducamp are pleased to announce today their strategic merger, which will result in the creation of a top-tier French firm specializing in intellectual property (IP) law, both in advisory and litigation services.

A merger dedicated to excellence in intellectual property

The newly formed entity will bring together the strengths of two highly respected law firms, both recognized for their expertise and exceptional capabilities in the field of intellectual property. With teams of lawyers specialized in patents, trademarks, designs and models, copyright, unfair competition, and parasitism, the new firm aims to become one of the leaders in the IP sector in France.

A team of renowned lawyers

The two firms together comprise some of the most esteemed lawyers in the profession, regularly ranked in international legal directories. This partnership will unite the best IP expertise, offering each client a tailored approach aligned with their specific challenges.

Plasseraud Avocats brings a wealth of knowledge and unparalleled experience in handling IP litigation. The firm has earned numerous accolades, including its recent ranking in the "5-star" category by Le Point magazine and its inclusion in the "Tier 1" rankings of the international Best Lawyers directory.

Candé Blanchard Ducamp, already a key player in IP litigation, is distinguished by its expertise in managing complex cases and defending clients, particularly in the fashion and luxury sectors. It ranks highly in several French and international directories, such as Décideurs ("essential" in the categories of Luxury & Fashion, Industrial Property – Trademark Litigation) and Legal 500 ("Tier 1" in Luxury).

A firm focused on the protection of intangible assets

Plasseraud IP Avocats will place a strong emphasis on supporting both French and international clients in the protection and defense of their intangible assets. The firm will provide an approach that is firmly oriented towards innovation, strategy, and the proactive management of legal risks related to intellectual property.

Thanks to this merger, clients will benefit from a comprehensive, highly specialized offering that covers all aspects of IP law, both in advisory and litigation. The goal is to enhance the efficiency of the solutions provided and to assist clients with the growing challenges related to intellectual property, particularly in the digital era.

This merger between two leading firms will allow Plasseraud IP Avocats to respond with even greater agility to the complex legal challenges faced by both French and international companies.

By combining their strengths, the two firms will enhance their ability to serve a wide range of industries, including technology, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, luxury and fashion, energy, and many others.
