Baker McKenzie continues to be highly ranked in the 2024 World Trademark Review 1000 (WTR 1000), which lists the world’s leading trademark professionals.
In the 2024 edition, the Firm maintains a prominent position with 91 recommended individuals attaining rankings. These practitioners are ranked in 41 WTR jurisdictions located across the four regions in which the Firm operates and in which other law firms that maintain a strategic cooperation with the Firm operate, including Trench Rossi Watanabe in Brazil. Gold band status, indicating the crème de la crème, was awarded to a total of 13 jurisdictions.Eva-Maria Strobel (Co-chair of Baker McKenzie's global IP, Technology and Data Practice Group) and Jessica Le Gros (Partner and co-lead of Baker McKenzie’s global Brand Management practice) commented:
"Thank you to WTR for recognizing us in their 2024 rankings. Having 91 lawyers ranked, more than in any other global firm, is a wonderful accolade and testament to our outstanding team of lawyers, unrivalled global reach and market-leading technology, which allow us to provide a first class service to the world's leading brand owners. We would also like to extend our thanks to our clients, without their trust in us we would not have received this recognition."
Now in its 13th year, the WTR 1000 "identifies the leading professionals and firms that are deemed outstanding at obtaining, protecting, managing, enforcing and monetizing trademarks. Only those individuals identified by market sources for their exceptional skill sets and profound insights into patent matters feature in the WTR 1000," the WTR said on its website.
