The 2020 edition of Managing IP’s Rising Stars publication is now available online

We are delighted to announce the release of the third edition of Managing IP’s Rising Stars publication. This special publication recognises some of the best up-and-coming IP practitioners in private practice who contributed to the success of their firms and clients. It complements other special individual rankings such as the Corporate IP Stars list.

This year’s Rising Stars publication is based on the information obtained during the research period for the 2020 edition of IP STARS rankings and MIP awards programme.

We featured more than 600 IP practitioners and over 300 firms. Click on any jurisdiction below to see all the IP practitioners ranked this year.

We know there are more excellent junior IP practitioners who also deserve to be featured in this publication and therefore we will continue with our research to find more to consider for the 2021 edition. If you have any suggestions or questions please send them to us (click here) or contact me directly.

Congratulations to all those who made this year’s list.
