Anand and Anand has once again topped the IAM Patent 1000 rankings 2017, which are a recognition of the world’s leading patent professionals.

The firm is “Highly Recommended” for both Litigation and Transactions, and Prosecution in the India rankings.

IAM describes the firm:

powerhouse boutique Anand & Anand effortlessly dispatches the most complex and demanding patent instructions. The dual qualification of many of its practitioners – as lawyers and attorneys – gives them a panoramic perspective on IP matters and they perform adroitly on either side of the contentious/non-contentious divide.

Pravin Anand is the only lawyer in Gold Band for Litigation and Transactions. Archana Shanker has been recognised for Prosecution.

At the cutting edge of the country’s evolving jurisprudence, managing partner Pravin Anand – dubbed “the best litigator in India” – has played a pivotal role in many precedent-setting trials.

Heading the patent team, the versatile Archana Shanker stands out for her cogent advocacy in pharmaceuticals spats and steady-handed portfolio management. Technical nous and commercial savvy characterise her practice.

See where else the firm’s practice has been recognised.
