Valentina Orlova figures again at the top of the leading international rating World Trademark Review – 1000

The WTR 1000 individuals rating (prosecution and strategy) has awarded a Gold rating to Valentina Orlova Head of Pepeliaev Group's Intellectual Property and Trademarks Practice.

Captaining the practice, Valentina Orlova is a magnet for heavyweight brands. Her illustrious career has seen her serve as head of the legal department at Rospatent and as a member of the delegation representing Russia in negotiations regarding its accession to the World Trade Organisation. At Pepeliaev she exploits her varied experiences to support household names such as FIFA, BMW and Richter Gedeon Nyrt.

The WTR 1000 corporate rating has placed Pepeliaev Group in the second (silver) band (prosecution and strategy category). 

Thanks to a cadre of “excellent, vastly experienced” lawyers, Pepeliaev Group has an absolutely dazzling track record in the courtroom, winning nearly every mandate it has taken on. However, it is also adroit at portfolio management and never passes over the chance to monetise its clients’ trademarks. Recently it has taken on a slew of new mandates from China and South Korea – attracted by offices in Beijing, Guangzhou, Singapore and Seoul.
