Managing IP In-House Awards

In-house counsel and teams can now submit information for the 20th annual Managing IP Awards programme

Our research analysts have commenced research for the 2025 edition of the Managing IP Awards programme.

Following the launch of the law firm submissions last month (read more here), we are now inviting in-house IP counsel and teams to participate.

Ocado Group, Nokia, Vodafone, Oracle, and Sanofi were among the companies that won in-house awards at the 2024 ceremonies, which were attended by more than 800 guests. Read about the three ceremonies: the Americas Awards, the Asia-Pacific Awards and the EMEA Awards.

Nominate your in-house team and leader

In-house leaders and their teams can participate in the research by submitting their entries for the awards. To aid your submissions, please read the guidelines and download the in-house awards form here.

The submission deadline is December 10 2024.

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 2025 research here.

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

The 2025 awards ceremonies

Managing IP will host three awards ceremonies in 2025, starting with the EMEA Awards ceremony. We will confirm the dates in due course.

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 more than 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.
