Lenz & Staehelin’s IP team recognised by World Trademark Review

Lenz & Staehelin is announcing two wins after the World Trademark Review (WTR) announced their 2025 ranking this week. After a comprehensive review involving hundreds of interviews with clients and peers across the globe, we were awarded the top-tier ranking in both categories: Gold for Prosecution and Strategy, and another Gold for Enforcement and Litigation.

World Trademark Review describes the firm as “An IP powerhouse, home to a team whose expertise encompasses the spectrum of brand protection”. Given well-deserved individual accolades were IP team members Jürg Simon, Thierry Calame, Peter Ling, Sevan Antreasyan and Barbara Abegg.

Jürg and Peter are described as having outstanding litigation skills, a commanding courtroom presence, and a strategic thinking that is second to none. Thierry is heralded for his  “profound understanding and up-to-date knowledge of trademark law”, while Barbara is commended for her extensive case law expertise and described as “the go-to expert for companies aiming to safeguard their intellectual property in the Swiss market.” Capping off the line-up is “transactions ace” Sevan, who “skillfully navigates negotiations with a forward-thinking approach and embrace of new technologies”.

Recognised for both their independence and in-depth research, the WTR 1000 rankings are highly regarded in the world of IP, providing a trusted resource for companies seeking to protect and enforce their trademarks. We are proud that our team’s accomplishments have been recognized by WTR once again.
