Dennis van Beem is a partner at De Vos & Partners Advocaten in Amsterdam and has long been regarded as one of the leading specialists in software protection, licensing and enforcement. He has been a lawyer since 1996 and has an international practice focused almost entirely on the tech and software sector.
Dennis advises and litigates primarily for software vendors and technology companies, while also working more broadly on IP enforcement and brand protection. His clients range from fast-growing startups to global market leaders. His work includes, among other things, enforcing copyright in software, anti-piracy matters, and compliance and audit issues. Market players across Europe and the United States have sought him out for years for strategic and effective enforcement approaches.
A key part of his practice involves acting in international enforcement matters relating to software infringements, where legal, technical and commercial interests converge.
In addition to litigation, he advises software and technology companies on designing and enforcing licensing and protection strategies. His approach is pragmatic, strategic and strongly focused on real-world enforceability.
