Gold - Individuals: litigation
Top-flight pharmaceutical and life sciences companies turn to Setterwalls and its sharp and dynamic litigators for staunch representation in business-critical disputes. The crew is regularly enlisted by the likes of Orifarm Generics, where Martin Levinsohn successfully represented the pharmaceutical giant in a legally complex dispute that concerned damages for losses inflicted by a preliminary injunction issued under a patent that was later revoked; the outcome brings further clarity to Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) case law and has significant effects on the strategic choices made by patent holders in the early stages of future patent cases. “One of Sweden’s brightest lawyers, Martin is super innovative and finds brilliant new ways to tackle complicated matters. He is brilliant at grasping the technical aspects of a case and, most importantly, he is not afraid to push the boundaries of patent law.” Levinsohn also joined forces with Per Lidman to represent Fresenius Kabi in its cross-border infringement and revocation dispute against Eli Lilly. “Per is one of the most proactive and solution-oriented lawyers I have ever worked with”, enthuses one source. “He has a deep technical understanding and his litigation skills are most impressive; he fights hard for his clients, never gives in and is lovely to work with on account of his great sense ofhumour.”
