Tobias Cohen Jehoram specialises in intellectual property, in particular trademark and design law. His practice extends to copyright, database and know-how protection. He specialises in advice on strategic use of IP rights and quick and effective remedies in national and international IP related matters. He also frequently assists in mergers and acquisitions.

Recent work includes advising and litigating for the world’s two largest producers of fast-moving consumer goods, a major player in the soft drinks market, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, several fashion brands, a well-known chip manufacturer, the largest Dutch telecom operator, music publishers and organisations representing the music industry. Recent landmark cases include the protection of copyright protection for smells (perfumes) and on testimony, liability of auction sites and the trademark protection of sounds.

Chambers says "the leading group in the field of general IP remains unchallenged thanks to its sheer size and substantial list of heavyweight clients","the number-one IP firm in the Netherlands." "Top-quality team and outstanding international work.", ranks Tobias in Band 1. Legal 500 says "the IP practice is absolutely top of the tree, and knows when an in-depth opinion is needed, or when a more practical approach is called for. The group provides high standards and good value for money".
