We are delighted that we have again been listed by the IAM Patent 1000. The IAM Patent 1000 sets out to be the definitive ‘go-to’ resource for those seeking to identify world-class, private practice patent expertise. To arrive at the 2021 rankings, IAM undertook an exhaustive qualitative research project to identify outstanding firms and individuals across multiple jurisdictions.

In this year’s write up, Slingsby Partners is described as being “on a stellar upwards trajectory”. Philip Slingsby, Paul Roberts, David King and Stephen Turner are singled out for particular praise, with Paul standing out for his “enthusiasm, sharpness of mind and exemplary communication skills” and Stephen praised for his “invaluable ability to grasp technical concepts and get to the core value of an invention quickly”. Our inclusion is a reflection of the work everyone does across the firm: So well done everyone!
