James & Wells has been crowned the best Intellectual Property Firm in New Zealand by Managing IP.

This follows on from a Tier 1 ranking for ‘Patent Contentious’ in Managing IP’s Global IP survey and six Associates being recognised in its IP Stars Awards. Managing IP undertakes independent research on IP strategy to identify leading IP firms around the world.

“It’s fantastic to win this award,” says Tim Walden, Managing Partner. “The firm has had a busy year with a record number of Partner promotions, and significant growth in Australia. We’re often told that clients choose our firm ‘because of the people’ and over the last year we’ve really focussed on delivering a high level of service, while making the process as easy as possible for our clients.”

James & Wells is the largest independent full-service IP firm with offices in Australia and New Zealand.
