WTR Global Leaders 2026: Ellex experts recognised among the world’s leading trademark practitioners

Three Ellex intellectual property lawyers have been recognised in the WTR Global Leaders 2026 guide by World Trademark Review. From Estonia, Mari Must and Ants Nõmper, and from Latvia, Mārtiņš Gailis, are included in the WTR Global Leaders: Private Practice ranking.

Published in its eighth edition, WTR Global Leaders brings together leading trademark practitioners from private practice and in-house teams worldwide. The guide draws on World Trademark Review’s research, including the WTR 1000 and WTR 300, to identify individuals considered among the “best of the best” in global trademark practice.

The recognition builds on the firm’s results in the WTR 1000, which highlights leading trademark professionals and firms in individual jurisdictions based on their expertise, market presence and the sophistication of their work.

Earlier this year, the WTR 1000 highlighted Ellex’s IP teams across the Baltics, noting in Estonia the longstanding experience of the team led by Ants Nõmper and commending Mari Must for her strategic trademark work. In Latvia, Mārtiņš Gailis was recognised for his experience in complex disputes and clear strategic approach.
