Powell Gilbert has secured a bronze ranking in the 2014 World Trademark Review’s 1000 Handbook: the world’s leading trade mark professionals. 

Furthermore, Simon Ayrton is ranked in the individual’s enforcement and litigation and the anti-counterfeiting sections.

The Handbook states: 

IP litigation specialist Powell Gilbert is responsible for safeguarding the status of many of the world’s most recognisable brands. Its patent division attracts deserved praise, but its trademark unit is also a shining example of excellence. It has fought the corner of global brand owners such as Gillette, Oral B and Pantene to great effect and boasts a pristine track record. With a broad sector focus and skills that extend to arbitration and counselling, the “deeply intelligent and sought-after” Simon Ayrton is a real favourite.
