newran2.JPG

Find out which law firms were ranked for intellectual property transactions work in the 2021 edition of IP STARS

We have published the IP STARS 2021 firm rankings for intellectual property transactions work. The rankings cover 14 jurisdictions. Most of the law firms we recognised are often involved in high value deals, many of which are driven by IP rights.

The growth of the knowledge economy has led to an increasing awareness that IP is also a business asset to exploit and not just a legal right to enforce. We hope that our table will assist those looking for specialist commercial IP advice. Read more about the rankings and our research below.

Congratulations to all the law firms ranked this year.
