Managing IP Awards 2024: in-house submissions invited

Managing IP In-House Awards

We have started accepting submissions from in-house counsel and teams for the 19th annual Managing IP Awards programme

Research is underway for the 2024 edition of the Managing IP Awards programme. Launched in 2006, this industry-leading IP awards programme recognises remarkable achievements in law firms and companies.

Earlier this month, we opened our portal for law firm submissions (read more here), and now we are inviting in-house IP counsel and teams to participate.

Novartis, Christian Louboutin, Qualcomm, and Spin Master were among the companies that won in-house team awards at the 2023 ceremonies, which were attended by more than 700 guests. Read about the three ceremonies: the Americas Awards, the Asia-Pacific Awards and the EMEA Awards.

We will use the information submitted, alongside other research data, to decide the shortlist and winners. Subject to research data, we will recognise in-house teams and practitioners in different areas of IP law or for IP in general. Learn more about our 2024 research here.

If you have any questions about our in-house awards, please contact John Harrison or our research team here.

About the Managing IP Awards


Managing IP launched its awards programme in 2006. The programme has evolved and grown over the years: we now host three regional ceremonies, instead of a global ceremony in London, and the research covers more than seven IP practice areas and over 50 jurisdictions.

The awards are based on information obtained from different sources, including submissions from law firms and companies, market feedback surveys, and publicly available information. The in-house categories recognise individuals and teams for their work in and outside their companies.

The ceremonies attract hundreds of guests, including in-house counsel and prominent public officials in IP. It is widely regarded as the premier IP law firm awards event in the legal industry.
