Carpmaels & Ransford retains its Tier 1 ranking

Carpmaels & Ransford has once again been ranked in Tier 1 in the recent Legal 500 rankings.

The firm was ranked in Tier 1 for Patent attorneys and retained its Tier 2 ranking for Trade Mark Attorneys. We also achieved a Tier 2 ranking this year in Intellectual Property: Patents (contentions and non-contentious) in addition to receiving recognition in the Life Sciences and Healthcare rankings.

The firm was also given additional recognition by the publication for excellence in client satisfaction.

Client testimonials collected by the publication include:

  • ‘Excellent understanding of the subject, easy to approach, and fast service. To date, all patent cases have been won when challenged in court.’
  • ‘Very helpful and friendly, often making excellent suggestions.’
  • ‘The attorneys I’ve worked with at Carpmaels are fantastic! I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for EP patent counsel.’
  • ‘The diverse team of attorneys with whom I have had the pleasure of working are driven, smart, and willing to go the extra mile. They think about the strategy based on the goals of the company. They never just do something because it gets something allowed; they always consider the value.’
  • ‘In both prosecution and oppositions, they come prepared to discuss the strategy in view of the company goals, not just the single patent on which we are working. They have already considered many different scenarios and are willing to walk through the pros and cons of each. They have a recommendation, but are willing to alter it depending on the facts.’
  • ‘The team works together well so that nothing is lost if someone cannot attend a call etc. The trust they have in each other shines when walking through strategy and how best to leverage what we have in hand. As the associates get more senior the team recognises when more junior people should come on and assist with the portfolio.’
  • ‘They are never caught on their back foot. Without question, this is a team I would seek out to work with again and again.’
