DTB Recognised with Two Prestigious Managing IP Awards 2026
DTB has been honoured with two significant accolades at the 2026 Managing IP Awards EMEA ceremony, further confirming the firm’s leading position in the Croatian intellectual property market. The wins reflect DTB’s outstanding expertise, exceptional client service and a consistent track record of excellence in the field.
At the annual awards gala hosted by Managing IP on 1 May 2026 at the InterContinental London – The O2, DTB received the following awards:
- Croatia Firm of the Year
- Croatia Rising Star of the Year – Anella Buković
Now in its 21st year, the Managing IP Awards programme is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative benchmarks of excellence in the global intellectual property profession, celebrating firms, companies and practitioners for outstanding achievements, innovation and client service across the EMEA region. Winners are selected through a rigorous research and review process, incorporating detailed firm submissions, peer and client feedback, and independent analysis of case work and market impact.
The ceremony, held ahead of the INTA Annual Meeting, brought together leading IP professionals and industry representatives from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
This year’s awards are of particular significance, as 2026 marked the introduction of the first-ever Croatia-specific award categories. DTB’s success in both categories reflects our continued commitment to excellence in intellectual property law and the strength of our growing IP practice.
The individual recognition of Anella Buković as Croatia Rising Star of the Year further underscores the exceptional talent and dedication within DTB’s team and reflects our investment in nurturing the next generation of leading IP practitioners.
Winning both Croatia Firm of the Year and Croatia Rising Star of the Year at the very first edition of these categories is a tremendous honour. These awards are a recognition of the hard work and dedication of our entire IP team, and a motivation to continue delivering forward-looking, strategic advice to our clients. DTB is proud of this international recognition and remains firmly committed to providing its clients in Croatia and beyond with excellent, innovative and forward-looking intellectual property advice of the highest standard.
