Howrey LLP has been named global Patent Law Firm of the Year 2009 in the Who’s Who Legal Awards. This is the fifth time the firm has been recognised in this way, having won the award every year since its inception.
With the benefit of over eleven years of independent research, Who’s Who Legal used the thousands of nominations it has received from clients and private practice professionals to identify the leading firms and individuals in 30 practice areas, as well as the top firm in over 50 countries and five US states. The winners were formally announced in The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2009, a compendium edition of all the individual Who’s Who Legal publications, which was released in May, covering 30 practice areas and over 100 countries.
Editor in chief Callum Campbell said, “In a highly competitive field, retaining the Who’s Who Legal Law Firm of the Year Award for Patent is an outstanding achievement. Howrey joins a select band of firms to dominate an area in this fashion. Its continuing success is reflected in the consistently positive feedback we received, recognising the firm’s exceptional individual and collective talent. We have no hesitation in once again declaring Howrey the leading firm in the world in this area”.
Partners from the firm received sufficient nominations from their clients and peers to be listed 15 times across seven countries in the Patent chapter of the publication.
A list of the Howrey LLP lawyers featured in the Patent chapter of The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers accompanies this release.
The awards are based on a number of factors, including the feedback received in the ongoing research process, past performance in the research and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour. In addition to identifying the overall leading firm in more than 50 countries and five US states, the awards also recognise the leading firm and individual in each practice area. The compendium edition is distributed free of charge to thousands of corporate counsel and private practice lawyers from around the world. The information is also available on www.WhosWhoLegal.com and is updated daily.
In 2008, Who’s Who Legal was named the Strategic Research Partner of the ABA Section of International Law, in addition to its position as Official Research Partner of the International Bar Association. In 2006, Who’s Who Legal’s parent company Law Business Research was recognised by The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the area of international trade. These awards are the most prestigious a British company can receive.
