World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 2026

In the WTR1000 editors words:

"NLP Legal has hit the ground running in unprecedented ways as it makes its debut on the WTR 1000. In just over a year, it has amassed an incredible client base, owing to its watertight coverage of the full trademark cycle and encyclopaedic command of the Portuguese commercial, financial and intellectual property landscape. Beatriz Lima, Joana Piriquito Santos and Sara Nazaré anchor a distinguished cadre of legal minds driving the firm’s trademark practice. With laser-sharp acuity, unyielding tenacity, and a forward-looking approach, they deftly navigate the intersection of legal complexity and commercial ambition. Their collective vision and execution continue to shape the firm’s reputation, promising NLP Legal a bright future."

The three partners of NLP, Joana Piriquito Santos, Beatriz Lima and Sara Nazaré, have been also individually recognised for their expertise in this field.

The WTR 1000 is a leading international guide that highlights the top trademark professionals across key jurisdictions worldwide and is widely regarded as the go-to resource for excellence in trademark law.

This recognition reflects the rigor, dedication and passion of the entire NLP team - Cláudia Freixinho Serrano, João Assunção, Filipe Gomes and Inês Lourenço Galvão, including in the field of trademarks.
