Finnegan’s Munich Office Earns Recognition in 2026 Best Law Firms – Germany Rankings

Best Lawyers, in partnership with the Germany-based business newspaper Handelsblatt, released its 2nd edition of the Best Law Firms – Germany, an annual guide that ranks top-performing German law firms and identifies which firms are leading the way in over 60 practice areas.  Finnegan is thrilled to announce that for the second consecutive year, the Munich office has been recognized as a leading law firm in Germany and ranked for its exceptional work in intellectual property. Building on last year’s single-category recognition, the office expanded its presence in the 2026 guide with two additional rankings in Litigation and Competition/Antitrust Law. The new practice area rankings highlight the firm’s growing influence in the German legal market and reinforces Finnegan’s global reputation for excellence in IP law.

As a leading firm in intellectual property, Finnegan’s work spans the full range of IP needs related to European, German, UK, and U.S. IP law. Understanding that Munich was and remains one of several key locations around the world for patent litigation, Finnegan opened an office in Munich, Germany in 2022. Our Munich attorneys are experienced in both German patent litigation and litigation before the Unified Patent Court. With a market presence of only three years, Finnegan is particularly proud to have the Munich office recognized as one of Germany’s top law firms. This recognition is significant, as it highlights the office’s deep technical expertise, client-focused service, and outstanding reputation and performance in the German and broader European legal markets.

The Best Lawyers Best Law Firms – Germany rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes peer-reviewed feedback, client and professional references, and firm-provided data. For a firm to be eligible for consideration, the firm must have at least one lawyer who is currently recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in Germany. A reflection of the dedication and talent of the Munich office, four Munich-based Finnegan partners were honored in Best Lawyers in Germany and Ones to Watch in Germany for their outstanding contributions to the field.
