Once all aspects of the technology are clearly defined, we determine how the technology should be interpreted into the existing legal framework. Our aim: helping clients to legitimate innovative entreneurship.

TK is located nearby Bio Science Park Leiden and therefore has a strong connection with the start ups and scale ups located on sight. Since January 2019 TK has opened a branche office in Amsterdam at the Keizersgracht from where our tech lawyers work in close cooporation with start up and scale ups within the Life Sciences domain.
