Madrid, June 12, 2025. The Elzaburu law firm has once again been recognized in the prestigious ranking Europe’s Leading Patent Law Firms 2025, compiled by the Financial Times and Statista, improving its ranking compared to the previous year and expanding its presence in new technical categories. This distinction reinforces the firm’s track record of excellence in the field of intellectual property and, in particular, in the area of patents, the specific focus of this European ranking.
Among more than 200 European firms recommended by clients and industry professionals, Elzaburu ranks as one of only 10 Spanish firms included in the ranking, marking a significant milestone on both the national and international stages.
In the 2025 edition, Elzaburu was recognized in four key technical categories:
- Silver in Mechanical Engineering
- Bronze in Chemistry & Pharmacy
- Bronze in Electrical Engineering & Physics
- Bronze in IT & Software
Compiled by the author based on the results of the Financial Times' "Europe’s Leading Patent Law Firms 2025" ranking
This improvement over 2024—when the firm was recognized in two categories (silver in Mechanical Engineering and bronze in Electrical Engineering)—reflects Elzaburu’s sustained growth and the market’s recognition of its technical capabilities in an increasing number of specialties.
The ranking, compiled by the Financial Times in collaboration with Statista, is based on independent surveys of professionals in the industrial and intellectual property sector across Europe, including clients and colleagues from the legal and technical fields. By focusing exclusively on firms specializing in patents, this ranking has established itself as a key benchmark for assessing technical excellence and reputation in this specific area of industrial law.
Ruth Sánchez, a partner and head of the patent practice at Elzaburu, stated: “This recognition encourages us to continue working with the same rigor and commitment that set us apart. The fact that our own clients and colleagues recommend us in this European ranking is especially valuable and motivating. We deeply appreciate their trust in our work.”
With 160 years of history, Elzaburu is a leading firm in the field of industrial and intellectual property, dedicated to the protection, management, and defense of the intangible assets of companies and institutions. This latest recognition confirms its commitment to quality, innovation, and technical excellence in serving its clients in an increasingly competitive and specialized environment.
