Andrew and Hopkins is pleased to highlight that Mintz has once again been recognized in the 2026 edition of WTR 1000: The World's Leading Trademark Professionals. This latest acknowledgment marks the sixth consecutive year that the firm has been honored by the World Trademark Review, underscoring a sustained record of excellence in trademark practice. For clients evaluating counsel in an increasingly complex intellectual property landscape, recognitions of this nature provide a meaningful, independent reference point.
In addition to the firm-level recognition, five individual Mintz attorneys were also named in the 2026 rankings. The inclusion of multiple practitioners alongside the firm reflects the depth of bench strength required to deliver consistent, high-caliber trademark services across a broad range of industries and jurisdictions. Clients increasingly look for legal teams that combine institutional reputation with individual expertise, and rankings that recognize both dimensions can be particularly informative.
The WTR 1000 is widely regarded as a leading independent guide identifying top trademark professionals and firms across global jurisdictions, including the United States. Its research methodology emphasizes peer review, client feedback, and a focused assessment of trademark-specific work, distinguishing it from broader legal directories. As a result, inclusion in the guide is generally viewed as a credible indicator of capability in trademark prosecution, enforcement, portfolio management, and dispute resolution.
From the perspective of brand owners, the value of sustained recognition lies in its signaling effect. A single year of acknowledgment may reflect a notable matter or a strong moment in time; six consecutive years suggest a stable platform, consistent service delivery, and reliable outcomes over the long term. For companies investing significant resources in building and protecting their brands, that kind of continuity is often a meaningful factor in selecting outside counsel.
Andrew and Hopkins joins the wider trademark community in noting this recognition and in observing the broader role that independent rankings play in helping clients identify trusted advisors for their intellectual property needs.
