The commercial law firm SKW Schwarz has been nominated in two significant areas as “Law Firm of the Year – Germany” in the current shortlists for the Managing IP EMEA Awards 2026: for Copyright & Design and for Trademark. The awards are among the most prestigious honours in the field of intellectual property and are based on an independent analysis of the performance of IP law firms and teams.
The double nomination underscores SKW Schwarz's particular expertise in trademark, design and copyright law, as well as the consistently high quality of its advice in complex national and international mandates. The nomination is also a reflection of our strength in IP litigation, where we have attracted attention with high-profile court proceedings.
“The nomination in two categories is a great confirmation of our work and the trust our clients place in us. It shows that we are pursuing the right approach with our strategic, business-oriented and practical IP advice,” says Oliver Stöckel, Head of IP at SKW Schwarz.
The Managing IP EMEA Awards 2026 ceremony will take place in spring 2026.
