Jens van den Brink

Jens Van den Brink started practicing law in January 2000, after studying in Amsterdam, London, New York and Nice. He joined Kennedy Van der Laan in 2001.

Jens is part of both our intellectual property and our media practice groups. He specializes in intellectual property law, with a focus on the advice and litigation for media companies. Aside from issues involving the more classical IP rights such as trademark and copyright law, Jens is specialized in the freedom of speech (defamation), gaming law, internet law and media law.

Jens regularly lectures on media, IP, internet and freedom of speech subjects. He provides workshops in Intellectual Property law at the Media Academy in Hilversum, is guest lecturer in Media Law at the Postacademische Dagbladopleiding Journalistiek of Erasmus University and School for Journalism in Utrecht and guest lecturer in Internet Law (post academic education) at the VU University in Amsterdam.
