Best Lawyers® has released the 2026 Best Law Firms® rankings, marking the 16th edition of this highly-anticipated annual analysis. Seed IP Law Group LLP ranks in Tier 1 in the Seattle metropolitan area for Patent Law, Trademark Law, Biotechnology & Life Sciences Practice, Litigation-Patent, and Litigation-Intellectual Property. Seed IP is also ranked nationally in either Tier 2 or 3 for these same categories.

The 2026 rankings are based on the highest lawyer and firm participation on record, incorporating 26 million evaluations of more than 129,000 individual leading lawyers from more than 24,000 firms. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must first have a lawyer recognized in The Best Lawyers in America®, which recognizes 5% of lawyers practicing in the United States. Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise. A firm must have at least one lawyer recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America® in a Best Law Firms practice area and geographic jurisdiction to become eligible for a Best Law Firms award. Seed IP is proud to have seventeen attorneys listed in the 2026 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®.

Firms included in the 2026 Best Law Firms list are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise, and reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity. "Recognition from Best Lawyers represents more than results; it marks a distinction earned through trust and performance,” said Phillip Greer, Chief Executive Officer of Best Lawyers. “These firms have distinguished themselves through integrity, consistency and dedication to exceptional client service."

Ranked firms, presented in three tiers, are recognized on a national and regional-based scale. Firms that received a tier designation reflect the high level of respect a firm can earn among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and practice areas for its abilities, its professionalism, and its integrity. Awards were given in 75 national practice areas and 188 metropolitan practice areas. These rankings provide a comprehensive view of the U.S. legal profession that is unprecedented both in the range of firms represented and in the range of qualitative and quantitative data used to develop the rankings.

The mission of Best Law Firms® is to help guide referring lawyers and clients — from the country’s largest companies requiring corporate legal advice to individuals seeking counsel regarding personal legal issues.
