Testimonial (2025): "Synch is renowned for its 360-degree view of managing trademarks, encompassing everything from obtaining and protecting to managing, enforcing and monetising trademarks. While it boasts an A-to-Z practice, the outfit has carved a niche for itself in high-value commercial matters. Representing it in the guide are founding partner Sara Sparring, who is the head of its IP & regulatory practice, and Mathilda Nordmark. Collaboration between the pair consistently yields positive outcomes as they are robust forces that lead customs enforcement actions and shake off infringers. While both are enticing options for the life sciences sector, Sparring also attracts those in tech-intensive and media industries, and Nordmark is the preferred choice for those working in the retail and FinTech sectors.”

The team’s international outlook, commercial awareness and diverse legal background have seen them successfully assist clients with a range patent issues. At the forefront of the IP practice are founder Sara Sparring and partner Mathilda Nordmark.

Her involvement in various professional associations ensures she has a panoramic view of the latest developments and policies, which she then incorporates into compelling arguments. Serving as the outfit’s chief of IP and regulatory operations, Nordmark draws on in-house experience gained at Fylgia to inform her approach to handling contentious assignments. She is particularly sought after by those in the retail, fintech and life sciences sectors."
