International recognition is earned through sustained excellence, trusted expertise and meaningful contribution to a profession. We are pleased to share that our Head of Practice, Ms Brenda Matanga, has been recognised as one of the World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR) Influential Women in IP 2026- a distinction that recognises women whose work is shaping and strengthening the practice of intellectual property around the world.

The annual WIPR Influential Women in IP list recognises women whose work is making a significant contribution to the intellectual property profession. Drawn from private practice, in-house legal teams, academia and public institutions, the 2026 honourees are recognised for their leadership, technical expertise and impact across the global intellectual property landscape.

This recognition reflects Ms Matanga's longstanding contribution to the practice of intellectual property law and her commitment to helping clients protect, manage and realise the value of their intellectual assets. Over the years, she has advised businesses, innovators and rights holders across a broad range of industries, contributing to the growth and development of intellectual property practice in Zimbabwe and across the region.

For us as a firm, this recognition is also an acknowledgement of the work we do every day alongside our clients. This is a big TEAM WIN reflecting the dedication, and contribution of every team member!  Thank you, team- it’s you who make BMATANGA great!

Intellectual property continues to play an increasingly important role in fostering innovation, supporting investment and creating opportunities for business growth. We are proud to contribute to that work through practical, commercially focused legal advice.

ALUTA CONTINUA!
