For the second year running EIP's patent attorney practice is rated in the top tier and received feedback including: ‘Consistent, reliable, extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic and very personable.'

Yet again EIP's combined patent offering received recognition: 'One rare aspect of EIP is that it is a firm both of solicitors and patent attorneys, the latter being highly relevant to (and important in) their work in patent litigation – the patent attorneys are usually heavily involved in the technical aspects of the litigation, providing essential input.'

Our top tier ranking patent attorneys received great client feedback including: 'the team at EIP has consistently shown an exceptional level of professionalism.' and 'the EIP patent attorneys I work with have all had great breadth and depth of knowledge of both the law and subject matter of our patent applications.' Several team members are listed in the rankings, in particular Heather McCannwho 'is outstanding, friendly and simply a leader in the field of patents' and Luke Galloway'is a real rising star and our go-to contact on our patent portfolio' while Laurence Brownis 'thorough, commercially minded, technically brilliant and an absolute pleasure to work with.'

EIP's patent contentious team is recognised as 'standout for its FRAND litigation capabilities' and 'unstuffy and its staff are very personable.' Head of EIP Litigation Gary Moss is ranked as a leading individual and noted as 'clearly an excellent patent litigator, and has done an impressive job of building EIP.' and Robert Lundie Smith is ‘hardworking and conscientious' with fellow partners Andrew Sharples, Matthew Jones, and Kathleen Fox Murphy also listed.

The Legal 500 rankings are based on feedback from 300,000 clients worldwide, submissions from law firms and interviews with leading private practice lawyers, and a team of researchers who have unrivalled experience in the legal market.
