About IP STARS

IP STARS is a ranking of intellectual property specialists and firms published by Managing IP, a British title from Legal Benchmarking Limited in London. It assesses firms and individual lawyers across patents, trade marks, copyright and transactions. Its research draws on submissions from firms, client references, market feedback gathered through interviews and questionnaires, and independent research by its analysts.

From the 2026 edition, the ranking is published by jurisdiction, with the Czech Republic having its own edition. Practice area rankings form part of each jurisdiction’s edition. You can find Ambit’s trade marks listing in the Czech Republic overview.

Our thanks to clients

Recognition is welcome, but it is not the main thing. What matters most is our clients and the work we do for them: the brands they build and the ideas they protect. We take it as a sign that talking to clients plainly and getting straight to the point is the right approach. Our greatest thanks go to the ambitious companies, founders and creators who trust us with their work.

If you are considering protection for your brand, we would be glad to help with trade mark registration.
