"International Business Legal Associates is one of the main firms that dominates the IP market in Jordan," admits one competitor. The firm remains a top player in contentious patent work, trade mark prosecution and contentious copyright work.
Nancy Dababneh leads the IP department and is praised by competitors for her approach. "She is very approachable, very hands-on, hard-working and pragmatic," says one rival. Another describes her as "the backbone of the firm".
The firm has established a strong reputation in Jordan and has managed to build upon its international client database over the last 12 months, securing some top players in the telecoms, music and food industries. Some of the firm's clients are: Bank of Jordan, Hilton International, Sony Pictures, Nokia, Apple and Daimler.
