Gowling WLG practitioners named 'IP Stars' in Managing Intellectual Property 2020 rankings

Thirty-six intellectual property practitioners from Gowling WLG have been distinguished as 'IP Stars' by Managing Intellectual Property (MIP), with a total of forty-six individual rankings secured in 2020.

This year's edition of "IP Stars" has ranked the firm and its lawyers highly across six of Gowling WLG's key jurisdictions: the UK, Canada, Russia, UAE, France and Germany.

The rankings cover 'Trademark', 'Patent', 'Design', 'Copyright' and 'Transaction' categories with ten of the firm's partners distinguished by MIP in more than one practice area.

Considered one of the world's foremost IP rankings, MIP's 'IP Stars' identifies the leading private practice IP practitioners globally who have been highly recommended by their peers, based on an extensive research process covering 80 jurisdictions - including the key markets for IP protection, exploitation and enforcement.

Released annually, the results are based on extensive research carried out over a six-month period, assessing the strength of the firm's IP team, workload, outcomes achieved for clients and track record. The latest rankings come following earlier firmwide success in MIP's 2020 'IP Stars' Trademark rankings.
