The Managing IP Awards is the legal industry’s most extensive and highly regarded awards programme for IP law firms. It spans multiple areas of IP practice and includes over 50 jurisdictions. Each year, our research analysts gather insights from thousands of firms, IP professionals, and their clients through interviews and surveys.
Laine’s trademark practice recognised
The winners of the 2025 MIP EMEA Awards were celebrated at a gala in London on 10 April 2025, marking the event’s 20th anniversary. We are delighted to announce that Laine IP has once again been named Firm of the Year in the Trademark Prosecution category for Finland.

Individual recognition
In addition, European Patent Attorney Kathy Wasström has been awarded the Practitioner of the Year title. This is a fantastic acknowledgment of Kathy’s professionalism and dedicated work in the IP field. Kathy travelled to London to accept the award and shared her thoughts on the experience:
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent our company at such an incredible event. The whole evening was amazing, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. But the best part was meeting all the familiar faces and making new connections.”

Kathy on the red carpet.
We warmly congratulate Kathy and our trademark team, as well as all the other companies and professionals recognised at the event. We also extend our sincere thanks to everyone who provided recommendations for the research process.
