World Trademark Review WTR 1000: Silver ranking for SKW Schwarz's outstanding German IP practice

The renowned magazine World Trademark Review has once again published the WTR 1000 Germany ranking this year and awarded SKW Schwarz the coveted silver ranking for its excellent performance in the IP field.

The WTR editorial team comments on this recognition as follows:
"SKW Schwarz is the go-to firm for advice in Germany and the EU. The team continues to go from strength to strength and recently implemented its branded content focus group, which covers emerging topics in the IP, IT and entertainment spaces, and has been very well received by patrons."

Dorothee Altenburg (bronze), Magnus Hirsch (bronze), Margret Knitter (gold), Sascha Pres (silver) and Sandra Sophia Redeker (silver) are also recommended.

WTR writes:
“Sandra is extremely knowledgeable and well respected in the IP field. She is responsive, clear and her advice is easy to understand. Sandra is thoughtful, highly skilled and she understands the business needs of her clients.”

“Magnus is a standout adviser. He is a very pragmatic litigator, who is willing to settle but will also fight hard to the end if necessary. Magnus is a vigorous advocate for his clients.”

“Margret is detail oriented, extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her timely, precise and immaculate business advice is invaluable. Margret is always realistic with her recommendations and maintains a commercial outlook at all times.”

Rembert Niebel, the head of Baker McKenzie's German IP practice, joined the team in July 2023. Clients are enthusiastic about "his very high performance and high level of service."

The WTR 1000 remains the only publication to exclusively recommend experts and law firms in the trade mark sector and this year, for the thirteenth time, lists the leading players in over 80 key jurisdictions worldwide. Individuals and law firms are only included in the WTR 1000 if they receive sufficient positive feedback from market sources. The comprehensive selection and vetting process involved hundreds of in-person and telephone interviews with trademark professionals around the world and serves as a one-stop shop for those seeking trademark services.
