Managing IP hosted the EMEA Awards 2019 in front of nearly 400 people at the Royal Lancaster, on what was a fantastic evening to honour the best IP achievements by law firms and in-house counsel last year.
You can find all of the winners below. You can also see the shortlist of winners here.
We will also publish the list of winners in our May/June publication later this year, and all the photos from the evening will be available on our Facebook page.
Now we look to Hong Kong, where we will host the Asia Awards 2019 on March 20, followed by the Americas Awards 2019 in New York on April 4. You can find more details about those ceremonies here.
Congratulations to all the winning firms in EMEA this year!
