Heinonen & Co and Eversheds Sutherland have once again been recognized in the prestigious IP STARS 2026 rankings for intellectual property. We are the only law firm in Finland ranked in all five categories assessed, and three of them at the highest Tier 1 level.
IP STARS is a respected international publication that lists the world’s leading intellectual property specialists and firms. The rankings are based on extensive market research, client feedback and assessments by industry experts.

In the 2026 rankings, we were placed as follows:

• Copyright & related rights – Tier 1
• Trade mark disputes – Tier 1
• Trade mark prosecution (law firms) – Tier 1
• Patent disputes – Tier 2
• Patent prosecution – Tier 3

The rankings also recognised several of our experts. These recognitions span both established leaders in the field and rising talent, reflecting the depth and continuity of IP expertise.
