- 5 May 2020

### Africa Firm of the Year as well as IP Stars Top Tier Firm for Spoor & Fisher

*Managing Intellectual Property (MIP)* recently announced its 2020 *IP Stars* lists for Trade Marks, and Spoor & Fisher is proud to be included in two prestigious global categories: ‘IP Stars Top Tier Firm 2020’ and ‘IP Firm of the Year 2020’.

For their work in trade marks, *MIP* acknowledged the following practitioners as *IP Stars*:

- Mohamed Khader

- Jean McIvor

- Louise Myburgh

- Megan Reimers

- Eben van Wyk

- Charles Webster

- Wayne Meiring

While *MIP* will only reveal the 2020 firm rankings for patent work in the summer issue of its magazine, and release patent rankings on its website in June 2020, the following practitioners were named for their work in the patents category:

- Lance Abramson

- Tertia Beharie

- Dina Biagio

- David Cochrane

- Craig Kahn

- Mark Kemp

- Hugh Moubray

- Jonathan Whittaker

This recognition is particularly meaningful to Spoor & Fisher, because it represents the views of our clients and peers.
