Our Accolades
Year-on-year, Carpmaels & Ransford is ranked in the highest tier for Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) and Intellectual Asset Management (IAM)
Carpmaels & Ransford is renowned as a leader in the European IP market and a premier prosecution firm, with an opposition practice that continues to be one of the largest in Europe supported by a fast growing litigation practice. We are unique in that our solicitors, barristers and patent/trade mark attorneys are all members of the same firm and work in the same office which results in a truly integrated team.
“I have worked with a dozen European patent firms and none can match the synergy of the people of Carpmaels. Their expertise, their dynamism, the energy to tackle problems and find solutions, and their ability to achieve success is incomparable to other firms.” – Legal 500, 2022
