Bird & Bird Tops IP Star Rankings with Highest Number of Women Leaders in Latest MIP Report

We were delighted to see 57 of our international lawyers recognised in the latest MIP IP Stars list for 2024.

In addition to this news, we are thrilled to announce that we were also recognised for featuring the most female leaders, of any other firm globally, in MIP’s prestigious Top 250 Women in IP report.

Lorraine Tay, Anne-Charlotte Le Bihan, Katharine Stephens, Manon Rieger-Jansen, and Marta Koremba were all named, alongside new partner to our IP Practice, Ann Henry, who joined our Dublin office earlier this year.  

Managing IP publishes it’s IP Stars report annually, and it features senior practitioners who have been recommended or identified as leaders in their firm and/or jurisdiction. 
We are incredibly proud of these outstanding lawyers and their contributions to driving our success forward.
