Leading Intellectual Property (IP) law firm Spoor & Fisher is pleased to announce that eight of its lawyers, five partners and three consultants have been selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers list for 2019. Best Lawyers is one of the oldest and most respected peer-review publications in the legal profession.
 
A listing in the publication is widely regarded by both clients and the legal fraternity as a significant honour, conferred on a lawyer by his or her peers.
 
Partners recognised for Intellectual Property Law include Jean Mclvor, Hugh Moubray, Carl Van Rooyen, Charles Webster and Eben van Wyk together with former partners and current consultants Dr Owen Dean, Keith Brown and Louis van Wyk.
 
In addition, both Hugh Moubray and Eben van Wyk were also recognised for their work in Litigation. No stranger to accolades – both Charles Webster and Dr Owen Dean have made the list consecutively for 10 & 11 years respectively since 2008.
 
Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer-review and the methodology is designed to capture the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical area and legal practice area. Best Lawyers employs a sophisticated, rational and transparent survey process designed to elicit meaningful and substantive evaluations of the quality of legal services.
 
Jonathan Whittaker, Executive Chairman of the Partnership says, “A consistent top ranking on the Best Lawyers list reflects the high level of respect our lawyers have earned and is a testament of their commitment to clients and their professionalism.”
