Chambers Global/Europe (2015):
“A significant player in patent litigation, Axel Verhauwen is at his most visible in cross-border patent infringement proceedings, particular those involving the technology and telecommunication sectors.”
In the JUVE handbook (2015), Axel Verhauwen is listed with a small number of others among the leading trial attorneys in patent law (under the age of 50).
IAM Patent 1000 (2015):
“Axel Verhauwen is clearly the alpha lawyer. He is the architype of the German litigator: accomplished, assertive and quick on his feet. He manages a tough workload and is outstanding in high-stake suits. One co-counsel reveals: He has a great relationship with Düsseldorf’s judges and knows how to pick words which win the case.”
