About Managing IP’s Rising Stars list

Managing IP launched its official Rising Stars publication last year. Although selection is primarily based on an individual’s contributions and expertise, we also take account of activities in the IP community.

The individuals we select as rising stars typically have less than 10 years' post-qualification experience and are below partner or equivalent level. However, in certain circumstances we can consider and rank individuals with more than 10 years of experience or junior partners. This year’s publication is based on the information obtained during the research period for the 2019 edition of IP STARS (September 2018 to February 2019).

This publication is produced by the IP STARS research team, and it is not connected to or influenced by the Euromoney Legal Media Group Rising Stars awards programme. The research for IP STARS is conducted rigorously and impartially. No firm or individual can pay to be ranked or win Managing IP’s awards. There is no fee to participate in our research.
