FRKelly Featured in WTR 1000 as Leading Global Trade Mark Practictioner in Ireland

WTR 1000 is the first definitive guide exclusively dedicated to identifying the world's leading trademark legal services providers, both law firms and individual practitioners. Both Niamh Hall and Shane Smyth are commended as "extremley capable" and a "great first port of call" respectively for all IP matters. FRKelly is featured under the Irish listing and is said to be "almost unanimously regarded as the leading player in Ireland."

 

The research was conducted by a team of full-time analysts and involved hundreds of interviews with trademark specialists across the globe. The law firm results are ranked into three tiers to reflect the depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work individual firms are typically instructed on. In addition, individuals qualify for a ranking in the WTR 1000 upon receiving sufficient positive feedback from market sources.

 

WTR 1000 features over 50 country-specific chapters, analysing the local trademark legal services market and detailing which firms and individuals have been identified as the leaders in their respective fields. In this way, the publication serves as a one stop source of reference for anyone seeking trademark legal services.
