Adri Kapitein appointed as partner of Bakker & Verkuijl

Last updated: 6 January 2023

After eight years as a trademark attorney, Adri Kapitein is officially a partner at our firm from January 2023. An excellent and logical step for Bakker&Verkuijl. Adri shares our passion for the profession, fits seamlessly with our culture and has recently proven that he is ready for partnership.

Did we foresee it when Adri Kapitein came to us as an intern on his initiative – fresh from university? Maybe. With nothing more than his master’s degree in Law & Technology, he had the willingness to learn as much as possible. Adri grabbed the opportunity we gave him with both hands and developed into a senior trademark attorney with an entrepreneurial mindset. Therefore, we are happy to have a person like Adri on the team.

Our new partner: “After eight years as a trademark attorney, Adri Kapitein knows what he is getting into as a new partner at Bakker&Verkuijl: Looking back, I was already early involved in the critical decisions. I especially like the diversity of the work, a bit of marketing, sales, and legal work. Not many things will change since I have been a partner. The biggest challenge will be to attract an additional senior trademark attorney”.

Above all, we will continue to do what Bakker&Verkuijl has done for more than 30 years to ensure that small- and large organizations feel at home: putting the customer and quality first, providing to-the-point advice, and having fun with IP. Because this is, and remains, “the most splendid profession.”
