Baker McKenzie retains its position as the most widely ranked firm in the World Trademark Review 1000 (WTR 1000), which lists the world’s leading trademark professionals.
In the 2023 edition, the Firm has seen an increase in high level rankings, with 95 individuals attaining rankings compared to 92 in 2022. These practitioners came from 38 offices in 35 countries located in all four regions in which the Firm operates. Gold band status, indicating the crème de la crème, was awarded to a total of 39 of our jurisdictions and individuals.
Co-Chairs of Baker McKenzie's Global Brand Management Practice Group, Jessica Le Gros and Maria Smith commented:
"We are again extremely grateful to be recognised as the world's leading trademark firm by WTR, with a stunning 95 individual and 38 jurisdiction rankings. This is testament to our excellent lawyers and brand management teams around the world, and investment in market-leading technology platforms, which combined with our unrivalled global reach, allows us to provide the highest quality brand management service to the world's leading brand owners. We are deeply appreciative of our clients, we would not have received this recognition without their trust and support."
Now in its 13th year, the WTR 1000 shines a spotlight on the firms and individuals that are deemed outstanding in over 80 jurisdictions worldwide. “We have identified the leading law firms and agencies in the market, as the depth of expertise that a firm can offer beyond - and in support of - its star partners is an important factor for potential clients. Firms qualify for a listing on the basis of their depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work on which they are typically instructed,” the WTR said on its website.
