To remain abreast of such trends, Liliana combines continuous monitoring of global legal and technological developments with an active role in shaping forward-looking theories and practices. In this regard, Liliana Bakayoko Law Firm has developed and introduced two original concepts. The Positive Perception of the Law is an innovative approach that empowers clients to harness their creative influence over legal frameworks. By shifting their perspective from being passive recipients of regulation to active architects of legal solutions, this concept enables clients to use legal systems as flexible instruments to drive innovation, secure investments, and build sustainable value for their ventures. Neurocognitive Trade Secrets is a pioneering approach aimed at protecting the unique cognitive processes and intellectual value that drive creativity and innovation, advocating for recognising thought as intellectual data. Looking ahead, the next year will be marked by several significant developments for Liliana Bakayoko Law Firm. The lawyer aims to continue accompanying clients in major crossborder investment and financing projects in the technology, energy, commodities, and infrastructure sectors. Alongside this, Liliana is also preparing initiatives to further promote her theory of the Positive Perception of the Law, particularly within the fields of IT law and artificial intelligence, where regulatory evolution offers fertile ground for further innovation. “In parallel,” Liliana added, “I will continue developing my work on Neurocognitive Trade Secrets, a concept aimed at protecting the unique cognitive processes and intellectual value that individuals and organisations bring to innovation. These projects reflect my belief that law should not be seen as a limitation, but as a powerful tool for creativity, innovation, and long-term value creation.” Contact: Liliana Bakayoko Company: Liliana Bakayoko Law Firm Web Address: gb.liliana-bakayoko-avocat.com Best International Business Law Firm 2025 & Client Service Excellence Award 2025 The law is a powerful dual force—a protector of rights and a catalyst for innovation, steering global progress.
