Burness Paull has won the award for Scotland IP Disputes Firm of the Year for the sixth year in a row at the Managing IP EMEA Awards 2025.

The Managing IP Awards, now in its 20th year, is widely regarded as the most comprehensive and respected IP law firm awards event. It recognises remarkable intellectual property achievements and developments in the last year, covering several practice areas across more than 50 jurisdictions.

Burness Paull operates one the of largest IP teams in Scotland and is trusted by the firm’s international client base – including household names operating on a global basis – to protect, enforce and maximise intellectual assets. The team’s reputation is reflected in its top-tier practice area and individual rankings in the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 legal directories, as well as being gold ranked by both World Trade Mark Review (WTR) 1000 and IAM Patent 1000.

Colin Hulme, partner and head of IP at Burness Paull, said: “To be named Scotland IP Disputes Firm of the Year for the sixth year in a row reflects the expertise and dedication of our people, not just in the IP team but also our wider disputes offering delivered by specialists in contentious matters from across the firm’s practice areas.

“The protection of ideas is vital to driving innovation and value creation. We’re grateful to our clients for the ongoing trust they place in us to safeguard some of their most important assets, defend their interests, and support their strategic growth ambitions.”
