Gowlings partners Frank Mulock and Vladislav Ugryumov have been awarded the prestigious Client Choice Award for 2015 by the International Law Office (ILO), in partnership with Lexology.
Both Mulock and Ugryumov were the exclusive winners in their respective categories, with Mulock receiving the Client Choice Award for Intellectual Property: Trademarks for Ontario, and Ugryumov receiving the award for Intellectual Property: Patents for Russia.
Each year, the Client Choice Awards recognize lawyers around the world who stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service. The nominees — who can only be put forward by corporate counsel — are judged on their ability to add real value to clients' business above and beyond the other players in the market.
