Brækhus IP Continues to Make its Mark Internationally Through Multiple Global IP Rankings

Brækhus IP is strengthening its position as a leading player in intellectual property law in Norway. In this year’s prestigious international rankings from Legal 500, Chambers, Managing IP, and IAM Patent 1000, the team continues to climb.

The need for specialised advice within intellectual property law is increasing as more and more Norwegian and international businesses seek legal assistance to protect their assets. In this highly competitive landscape, international rankings such as Legal 500, Chambers, Managing IP, and IAM Patent 1000 serve as important marks of quality – both for clients and for the industry as a whole. The rankings are largely based on client feedback, which makes the recognition particularly valuable:

“We greatly appreciate the positive feedback from our clients. It is inspiring to see our work being recognised. The acknowledgement underlines our ambition to deliver quality, professionalism, and innovation in every single case we handle,” says Julius Berg Kaasin, partner and head of IP at Brækhus.

Strong Placements in Several Renowned Rankings

Brækhus IP’s solid professional work has been recognised in several of the most respected international IP guides. The team has achieved strong rankings at both firm and category level.

Legal 500: Brækhus achieves Tier 2 placements within IP.
