Dennemeyer & Associates Takes A Safari Into Africa

International IP law firm Dennemeyer & Associates has opened a new office in Johannesburg. The new office was set up in collaboration with Christophe van Zyl, Head of Dennemeyer's Africa Practice Group and Robyn Merry, a South African Patent Attorney who have partnered to found the local law firm. This development places Dennemeyer in a unique position as the only specialized IP Law firm and service provider with offices on all relevant continents.

Dr. Robert Fichter, Director of Luxembourg-based global IP law firm Dennemeyer & Associates S.A., states: "Dennemeyer's Africa Practice Group was established just in November last year. Part of the development of this group is the establishment of an associated South African law firm to ensure that we have a physical presence on the ground in Africa. South Africa offers an ideal service hub to Dennemeyer to support those multinational companies that are pursuing their African strategies through South Africa, as well as to increase the service options available to South Africans in South Africa and in other Sub-Saharan Countries."

This development places Dennemeyer in a unique position as the only specialized IP Law firm and service provider with offices on all relevant continents, affording clients a truly global one-stop-shop service ranging from the administrative type of IP services to core legal services. "Our new physical presence in Africa follows the trend of several international firms in the commercial and banking fields of practice who have swarmed into Johannesburg in the past couple of years", says Dr. Robert Fichter.
