Murgitroyd once again recognised in The Legal 500 Rankings

Awards Legal 500

We are thrilled to say that, once again, Murgitroyd has been recognised by The Legal 500 for both our trade mark and patents work.

The Legal 500 is the leading guide to law firms and solicitors in the UK, produced after months of research and analysis by a specialist team involving reviewing thousands of submissions and conducting interviews with private practice lawyers and GCs.

In the 2024 Legal 500 rankings, Murgitroyd has been listed for both patents and trade marks, with a year-on-year improvement for the patents team from 2022 and 2021, whilst the trade marks team have maintained their position for the past two years.

We would like to thank our valued clients for their contributions and their recognition of the support and strategic advice the team provides globally, with one client praising Murgitroyd for becoming ‘one of the leading and largest IP firms in Europe’.

As part of the research, we have received some very positive feedback, listed below, with special mentions to Joanne Lecky and Christian Finn who received individual feedback also:

“They are impressive not only in their efficiency, quality, and responsiveness, but also in their familiarity with local practice, as well as an extensive European office network that enables them to act as a one-stop-shop for all clients’ IP requirements in Europe.”


“The trademark team is managed by the great Joanne Lecky, who is a delight to work with and provides the right resource from the Murgitroyd team.”


“Exceptional service in terms of turnaround times, quality, and value of work. Detailed expertise in the areas in which they work.”


“Christian Finn specialises primarily in trade mark matters, handling portfolios for a wide range of clients, from small start-ups to multinational companies.”
