Covering multiple IP practice areas and more than 50 jurisdictions, the Managing IP Awards program—first launched in 2006—is among the most comprehensive and widely respected recognitions in the legal industry. The IP Stars rankings are based on extensive research, including client and peer feedback, as well as firm submissions.
