Wiersholm named Firm of the Year in Managing IP Awards EMEA 2025
Wiersholm continues to deliver strong results in recognized international rankings, and last night we were awarded “Norway Trademark Firm of the Year” and, for the second time in a row, “Norway Copyright & Design Firm of the Year” in Managing IP Awards EMEA 2025
This is also the first year that one of our own lawyers has been named Norway Rising Star of the Year within this area, with Kristiane Aarvik receiving the award as a result of delivering a high performance over the past year.
– These awards are a great testament to the excellent work that the entire Wiersholm IP team dedicates to the firm’s clients throughout the year. Winning the Copyright Award for the second consecutive year is a solid effort, but it is particularly pleasing that our trademark efforts are now also being noticed. Kristiane being the first Wiersholm employee to win the Rising Star in this field is well-deserved and acknowledges both her and the other young lawyers at Wiersholm, says Hans Erik Johnsen, Partner at Wiersholm.
– It is, of course, very gratifying to receive such recognition for the work I have done over many years and my contribution to Wiersholm’s intellectual property work, but it is also an award that reflects the opportunities one receives as a young lawyer at Wiersholm. Naturally, I must share this award with all the other talented lawyers on our team, says Kristiane Aarvik, Lawyer at Wiersholm.
Maria Høye Haugstad and Kristiane Aarvik were present at the awards ceremony in London to receive the awards on behalf of the firm.
The Managing IP Awards is an international award ceremony for law firms working with intellectual property. The awards are based on information gathered from law firms and their clients. In addition to the top positions, Wiersholm was also shortlisted as the best firm in the “Patent Disputes” category.
