HGF Partners Recognised in IAM Strategy 300

We are pleased to announce that HGF Partners Rachel Fetches and Achim Krebs have been recognised in the IAM Strategy 300: The World’s Leading IP Strategists, a prestigious annual guide that identifies the leading professionals shaping IP strategy on a global scale.

Published by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM), the IAM Strategy 300 highlights individuals who are recognised by peers and clients for their ability to develop and implement IP strategies that maximise the value of intellectual property portfolios. The guide showcases professionals who understand how IP can be leveraged as a strategic business asset and who deliver exceptional support in the creation, management and commercialisation of intellectual property.

This recognition reflects the depth of strategic expertise across HGF and our commitment to helping clients use intellectual property not only to protect innovation, but to drive growth, secure investment, gain competitive advantage and support long-term business objectives.

Rachel Fetches, Partner and Head of HGF Law, is recognised for her expertise in complex intellectual property disputes and strategic IP counsel. Rachel advises clients across a range of sectors on contentious P matters and pan-European litigation strategies, helping businesses protect and maximise the value of their intellectual assets.

Achim Krebs, Partner based in The Hague, is recognised for his strategic approach to patent portfolio management, IP due diligence and the commercialisation of innovation. Combining scientific, legal and commercial expertise, Achim advises clients on patent strategy, enforcement, transactions and technology investments across multiple jurisdictions.

Being included in the IAM Strategy 300 is a significant achievement, the recognition reinforces HGF’s reputation as a leading European IP firm with specialists who help clients realise and enhance the value of their intellectual property.
