Kilburn & Strode is proud to once again be awarded a Band 1 ranking for the Intellectual Property: Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys category in Chambers and Partners’ 2026 edition.
Top tier practitioners
The firm celebrates the outstanding individual recognition of Gwilym Roberts, who has been named an Eminent Practitioner. This is a distinction reserved for highly-influential attorneys who, whilst less active in fee-earning work due to managerial or client relationship commitments, remain pivotal figures within their teams and the wider profession.
Jennifer Harris has been awarded a Band 1 recognition for Patent prosecution, whilst Iain Stewart has been awarded a Band 1 recognition in the Trade Marks category.
