As an attorney at that firm, she specialized in anti-counterfeiting cases, representing significant international clients before criminal courts and local enforcement authorities.
Currently, Villy primarily develops brand protection strategies and manages EU Trademark (EUTM) and international filing, prosecution, and litigation cases.
