Gowling WLG was presented with two prestigious accolades at this year's MIP EMEA Awards.

The firm was named Designs Firm of the Year (UK) and Middle East Firm to Watch at the awards ceremony, held on 7 March at The Lancaster Hotel in London.

Managing Intellectual Property, one of the most notable IP publications in the world, selects its winners based on a comprehensive firm submission, as well as feedback from peers and independent research.

The firm has been a part of the world-famous London Design Festival for several years, hosting Q&A events with industry-leading speakers.

Last year, the firm also strengthened its Dubai office with the appointment of a new Tech team in the United Arab Emirates; including director Tony Fielding, senior associate Alexandre Brazeau and, most recently, associate Isabella Hislop.
