Practitioners and law firms should keep their eyes peeled as the shortlist for our annual Awards is set to be released

Practitioners and law firms should monitor the Managing IP website over the next few weeks as the shortlist for our EMEA Awards 2025 will be revealed in February.

Back for its landmark 20th year, the Managing IP Awards programme is the most comprehensive and widely respected awards for intellectual property law firms.

This year’s EMEA Awards, which will recognise talented practitioners and deserving law firms across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, will take place on April 10.

The event will be held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

Managing IP will reveal who has made the shortlist for its various awards, including impact cases, firm of the year, and in-house team of the year, in February.

Each year, our research analysts gather information from thousands of firms, practitioners, and their clients through interviews, emails, and online surveys.

Last year, more than 250 prizes for legal excellence were handed out at an exhilarating EMEA Awards ceremony where over 600 guests joined us to celebrate the biggest achievements in the IP law sector.

Hogan Lovells was the top law firm performer of the evening in 2024, while Nokia, Novartis, Ocado, and Vodafone took home prestigious in-house awards. There were also awards for Hoyng Rokh Monegier, Bird & Bird and many others.

Tickets for this year’s ceremony are strictly limited and tables are expected to sell out quickly. Please contact Prin Shasiharan at Managing IP to reserve your space.
