We are proud to share that our Senior Associates, Dina Amer and Abdelrahman Helmi, actively contributed on behalf of Al Tamimi & Company at the recent Consultative Roundtable on IPR Enforcement/Anti-Counterfeiting for North African Countries, hosted by @AfrIPI. The event convened a wide range of professionals, including legal experts, judges, customs authorities, and IPR enforcement specialists, along with distinguished members from the EUIPO, INTA, ITIDA, EIPA, and ITDA. Dina Amer engaged in two significant panels: “Case Studies on Successful Anti-Counterfeiting Operations,” where she provided valuable insights from practical IPR enforcement experiences, and “Strategies for Strengthening IPR Enforcement in a Global Marketplace,” where she collaborated with peers to discuss robust global strategies, bringing her deep expertise to the table. Abdelrahman Helmy led the panel on “Perspectives and Evolution of IPR Enforcement and Best Practices,” offering expert perspectives from his vast experience and facilitating discussions on actionable steps to improve cross-border enforcement practices. Their participation underscores Al Tamimi & Co.’s dedication to advancing intellectual property protection and combating counterfeiting in the region and internationally. #IntellectualProperty #IPREnforcement #AntiCounterfeiting #AlTamimi #GlobalIP #NorthAfrica #Law

Al Tamimi & Company is honoured to announce our collaboration with ELEVENISH in launching the ELEVENISH Legal Clinic series, aimed at empowering emerging designers with essential legal knowledge.   The first session, "Protect Your Creations: A Vital Legal Talk on IP Infringements for Fashion Designers," was a great success. Attendees gained valuable insights into IP protection, documentation strategies, and legal remedies for infringements.   Our Intellectual Property team, Rasha Al Ardah, Partner, and Manel BENSAID, Senior Associate, provided expert guidance, equipping designers with practical tools and solutions to safeguard their intellectual property. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting regional talent through our CSR program. We look forward to further sessions.
