I started this blog in 2020, while preparing for the EQE main exams. After passing all exams for the first time with flying colours, I started supporting other candidates on their EQE journey.
Since then, I tutored more than 200 candidates regularly (on a weekly basis), including people from prestigious companies such as the EPO, Cooley, Finnegan, Keltie, Grünecker, Maiwald, Hoffmann Eitle, df-mp, Barker Brettell, Brann, Laine IP, Bergenstråhle & Partners, Nestle, Kuhnen & Wacker, Betten & Resch, P&TS, ZBM, Cantaluppi, Fish & Richardson, Appleyard Lees, Onsagers, Clarke Modet, Kolster, NLO, Pirelli, Adidas, Novo Nordisk, Knauf, tesa, Japan Tobacco International, Ramboll, Ascendis Pharma, thyssenkrupp, Schneider Electric, Philip Morris International, Philips and Roche and held more than 400 meetings as an EQE tutor.

Advice for first-time sitters
This post has been created for first-time EQE candidates. I have asked EQE-qualified attorneys:
- Is there something you wish someone had told you when you started preparing for the main exams?
- What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone sitting the EQE for the first time?
Then I have compiled all the tips into this one comprehensive blog post.

A possible 6-month study plan for EQE 2025/2026
There are about 6 months until EQE 2026. For candidates who enrolled for at least some of the main exams, the next 6 months will be mostly about studying.
I have tried to create a realistic study plan supporting candidates who plan to sit all 4 main exams in 2026. However, please remember that I don't know your life situation, so feel free to personalise and adjust the plan according to your commitments and available free time.

EQE appeal
In this long awaited post you can learn how to file an appeal against the results of the EQE.
This post was written by a lovely patent attorney who went through this fight after EQE 2023 (successfully). She wanted to support and help others by writing this detailed summary about the EQE appeal process. I’m grateful for her contribution to the EQE blog!
