Peter Sloane Contributes to Introduction of INTA’s 2026 IP Law Firms of the Future Think Tank Report

In November of 2020, the International Trademark Association published the IP Law Firm of the Future Think Tank Report, a thought-provoking account of how an IP law firm of the future might operate. Leason Ellis Partner Peter Sloane was a member of the Think Tank that produced the Report. In the latest update to the Report, published on June 17, 2026, Peter and two others from the initial Think Tank provide an introduction and executive summary. In looking back and assessing the earlier Report’s predictions, they found mixed results, which were due in large part to the global pandemic and technological developments. The updated Report offers an insightful reflection on how the profession has evolved and the trends that will continue to shape the future of IP practice.
