We are proud to announce that our trademark practice has once again been recognised in the World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 2026, reaffirming our standing as a leading firm for trademark prosecution, strategy and enforcement across key jurisdictions in Australia and Asia.

These results reflect the depth of expertise, consistency and client-focused approach that underpin our global trademark offering.

The Australia practice continues to perform at an exceptional level, with strong recognition across both the firm and individual rankings. The results highlight the dedication of our Australian team and their ability to deliver high-quality, commercially astute advice in a complex and evolving intellectual property landscape.

"This year's WTR 1000 recognition is an endorsement of the depth, quality and consistency of our trade mark practice in Australia. It reflects the commitment of our teams to deliver strategic, commercially focused advice for our clients. Alongside the continued excellence demonstrated by our broader team, we are proud to see a strong individual recognition across the attorney and legal practices, including an outstanding result for our Trade Mark Leader, Roseanne Mannion."

Simon Potter – Managing Director, Australia

Across Asia, the 2026 rankings demonstrate continued momentum and growth, with expanded recognition that reflects the strength and integration of our regional network. New country coverage and additional individual listings underscore the commitment of our Asia team to building robust trademark solutions across multiple jurisdictions.

"The 2026 WTR 1000 results underscore the strength and momentum of our Asia practice. The expansion of our country coverage, including recognition in Thailand, together with the inclusion of new individuals across the region, highlights the dedication, expertise and collaborative culture of our teams. Managing trade mark portfolios for clients in every corner of the world, this recognition reinforces our service commitment of a truly integrated, high-performing trade mark team with local expertise alongside global perspective."
