IP STARS lists Ionic Legal in firm and partner rankings
Managing IP’s guide to the global intellectual property law market, IP STARS, has acknowledged Ionic Legal in its 2026 Western Europe rankings. The firm is listed in the United Kingdom, while partners Paul Cox, Roy Crozier and Tania D’Souza Culora are included as individuals (Paul and Roy are recognised as ‘Trademark Stars’).
Based on independent research by a dedicated team, the IP STARS rankings are described as the “leading specialist guide for companies or individuals looking for experienced legal practitioners to deal with contentious and non-contentious intellectual property issues.”
With this latest recognition, Ionic Legal has built on its recent success in directories including World Trademark Review, The Legal 500, Chambers UK and the WIPR UK Trademark Rankings. Earlier this year, Roy Crozier received the TMT Lawyer of the Year prize at the 2026 Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards.
Two years on from its foundation, Ionic Legal has grown faster than its founders had predicted. Paul Cox explained the firm’s ethos in this blog: “Our view was that legal advice should be straightforward, accessible and grounded in a strong understanding of each client’s commercial priorities.”.
