Managing IP’s Rising Stars list for 2021 has been confirmed.

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 expanded our coverage this year, featuring more than 50 jurisdictions. 

To see the 2021 IP Stars and Rising Stars, go to a firm or jurisdiction page and click on the ‘Practitioners’ tab.

We know there are more excellent junior IP practitioners who also deserve to be featured in this publication. Our aim each year is to find and recognise more talent — research is already underway for the 2022 edition.

Read more about the Rising Stars publication, including the methodology, on our dedicated page here.

Congratulations to all the practitioners ranked this year.
