The 2021 edition of Managing IP’s Rising Stars publication is now available

We are delighted to announce the release of the 2021 edition of Managing IP’s Rising Stars publication.

This special publication recognises some of the best up-and-coming intellectual property practitioners in private practice who contributed to the success of their firms and clients.

We featured more than 1,000 IP practitioners and over 400 firms across 54 jurisdictions. Below are some of the firms recognised this year; click on a firm to see its rankings page on ipstars.com.

We know there are more excellent junior IP practitioners who also deserve to be featured in this publication and therefore we will continue with our research to find more to consider for the 2022 edition. 

If you have any suggestions or questions please send them to us (click here). 

Congratulations to all the individuals and firms recognised this year.
