Managing IP has published its 2025 edition of the IP STARS legal directory. The directory acknowledges the most exceptional practitioners across a range of IP practice areas and more than 50 jurisdictions.
IP STARS is the leading specialist guide showcasing the legal practitioners best-equipped to handle contentious and non-contentious issues within intellectual property law. The research analysts determine the annual ranking using firm submissions, client interviews and online surveys.
We are delighted to announce that Partners Paul Cozens and Hazel Ford have been named as ‘Patent Stars.’ Out of our Trade Mark team, Partners Gary Johnston and Rebecca Tew have been recognised as ‘Trade Mark Stars.’ In addition, Consultant Partner Jane Clark and Partners Philippa Griffin, Nicholas Fox, David Hobson, Martin MacLean and Andrew White have been praised as ‘Notable Practitioners.’ Partner Laura Clews has also been newly featured as a ‘Notable Practitioner.’
The 2025 Rising Star rankings are due to be released in September 2025.
The firm is also pleased to have maintained its ranking ‘Trade mark prosecution’ in the 2025 directory. The firm rankings for ‘Patent prosecution’ will be announced at the end of the month.
