Businesses want their own creations or new technologies to be properly protected and used. This applies both on- and offline, as well as nationally and internationally. In this context you may come across a variety of issues, such as distribution, agencies, franchising, e-commerce, trademark and copyrights, licenses, data, liability and guarantees.

In the field of corporate law, Manita is specialised in commercial contracts, intellectual property rights (IP) and information technology (IT). Her clientele includes numerous businesses in the IT sector, creative and manufacturing industries. Advising on the drawing up of contracts or challenging violations of copyrights, brand rights and trade name rights are part of her daily work at LOYR. She has gained extensive litigation experience at, for example, Dutch courts and courts of appeal, the Netherlands Arbitration Institute (NAI) and the Foundation for Internet Domain Registration in the Netherlands (SIDN).

The LOYR approach is personal and pragmatic and that suits Manita down to the ground. Clients like transparency when it comes to weighing up costs and benefits. Clear advice, without any jargon, helps them take well-balanced decisions. Her years of experience make Manita a valuable sparring partner for businesses and, over the years, she has built up a relationship of trust with many of her clients.

Manita has registered intellectual property law in the legal register of the Dutch Bar Association. On the grounds of this registration, she is obliged, in accordance with the standards of the Netherlands Bar, to obtain ten credits in each registered primary field of law.
