Mishcon de Reya’s Intellectual Property team has been recognised with two awards at the 2026 Managing IP EMEA Awards: UK (England) Rising Star of the Year (Law Firms), awarded to Legal Director Conor McLaughlin, and UK Impact Case of the Year for the firm’s work on the trade mark case of Thom Browne v Adidas. The firm was also shortlisted for four other awards, including Soft IP Practitioner of the Year for Angela Fox.
The awards celebrate the individuals, firms and cases that have shaped the IP landscape over the past year, recognising both legal excellence and meaningful impact across the market.
Jeremy Hertzog, the Chair of the Innovation Department and Partner who represented Thom Browne said: "Awards like this matter because they shine a light on the kind of ambitious, precedent-setting work that defines the intellectual property sector and legal profession at its best. I am incredibly proud of what we achieved for our client, Thom Browne, in this groundbreaking case, and it speaks to the culture we have built at Mishcon de Reya: one that attracts both outstanding lawyers and innovative clients who are willing to challenge convention. This recognition inspires us to keep taking on the cases that shape what comes next."
This recognition reflects the strength and depth of the firm’s IP practice and the commitment of our team to delivering exceptional outcomes for clients.
