Nikos Prentoulis recognized as a WTR Global Leader 2022

by

and answered questions on his career in IP, relationship with clients and current IP developments

A cool recognition of our work in Prentoulis Gerakini. Nikos Prentoulis was recognized as a WTR Global Leader 2022 and answered questions on his career in IP, relationship with clients and current IP developments.

‍

Nikos speaks of how curiosity led him to IP during his postgraduate studies in EU law and offered an alternative to a human rights law career, his passion at the time.

‍

He also shares his top 3 “tips” on for building long-lasting client relationships:

  • responsiveness, which should not be mistaken for speed
  • see and be seen, which means physically meeting with the client, where possible, and
  • adjusting to the client’s (sometimes evolving) risk tolerance level.

Finally, Nikos has a word of advice for brand owners who want to stay clear of “greenwashing” trouble. “Honesty is the best policy. If a brand has no tangible proof or record of environmental sustainability processes or results, they should simply avoid any statement that could be misleading”.
