IAM Patent 1000 Honors Christopher Bakewell, Julia Rowe and Kroll’ Global IP Advisory Practice

The IAM Patent 1000 recognized Duff & Phelps’ IP Advisory practice as one of the world’s leading patent consulting firms. It also honored Chris Bakewell, Managing Director, and Julia Rowe, Director, in the Disputes Consulting practice as top patent professionals. This is the inaugural year that the IAM Patent 1000 recognized consulting firms. Firms are selected for the depth of expertise they can offer, their market presence and the level of work for which they are engaged.

Chris has been recognized for nine consecutive years as a leading patent expert, with one client expressing that Chris is “hugely experienced and eminently well-suited to the highest-level instructions.” This is the first year that Julia has been recognized as a leading testifying expert.

The IAM Patent 1000 has become the definitive directory exclusively dedicated to identifying the world’s leading patent services providers and expert witnesses. The extensive research process for this guide was conducted over five months by a team of full-time analysts and involved more than 1,800 interviews with global patent specialists.

Patents are vital business assets, and in the context of a dispute, significant sums are at stake in compensation battles, so selecting the right consulting firm and appropriate expert witness is crucial. We applaud our IP Advisory team and Chris and Julia on this outstanding achievement.
