Why Clients Choose Us?

We offer an alternative to the services offered by the majority of Australian and New Zealand patent and trade mark attorney firms owned by several Australian stock market listed entities, where there is a potential for conflict of interest between respective clients and where shareholder interests are a significant matter underlying the work performed by those entities.

Our focus is providing good old-fashioned service in a fast-paced world, where the attorney you deal with, is the attorney responsible for your matters. We take ownership of our obligations to our clients, where your needs are our priority.

We especially pride ourselves in working closely with our local clients and take pleasure in visiting their business premises, and meeting with their R&D and creative teams to better understand their commercial and intellectual property needs.

If you have an invention, trade mark or design you wish to protect, or have existing intellectual property but are disillusioned with your present attorneys, please do not hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.
If you are an IP or other professional seeking representation for your clients in Australia and New Zealand, please do not hesitate in seeking our advice or assistance to register your client’s IP rights.
