We preview Managing IP’s ‘IP Ones to Watch’ list, meet our newest recruit, and look back over the final law firm rankings release of the year.

In this episode, the team previews our ‘IP Ones to Watch’ list, which showcases emerging talent in the in-house intellectual property world. The list will be published next month.

Editor Max Walters is joined by Sukanya Sarkar, our special projects editor, and Sanjana Mishra, our senior reporter for the Americas and Managing IP’s newest recruit.

We give a flavour of how ‘Ones to Watch’ is managed and why it is such a popular product. 

Elsewhere, we look back at the highlights from the IP STARS rankings for copyright and IP transactions work, the final firm rankings release of the year.

We also discuss the submissions process for next year's Awards and rankings. 

Managing IP will be hosting two live webinars about the submissions process in September. More information about the webinars can be found here.

Lastly, we discover how Sanjana Mishra has been navigating her first few weeks covering IP. 

We will be back with a new podcast episode soon. Thank you for listening.
