Testimonials

2026

"I’ve had the pleasure of being briefed by Baker McKenzie on many occasions, and they are easily one of the most diligent solicitors I work with. From a barrister’s perspective, their preparation is meticulous—everything is organized, the evidence is thoroughly vetted, and the strategic groundwork is laid. They are also excellent at managing clients."

"They prepare the evidence carefully and in plenty of time. Their views on strategy are well reasoned."

"Incredibly responsive, overly reasonable to deal with, super professional and genuinely care about us as a client."

Jonathan Flintoft

"He and his team are incredibly good communicators. We really trust their judgement, and that they put our organisations best interests first when advising us. His technical knowledge is super impressive too, it shows that he has extensive experience in the relevant subject matter."

Andrew Stewart

"He's a great manager of people, both his employees and clients. He has great strategic ideas about how to run cases. He's calm under pressure."

 

2025

"In my experience, Baker McKenzie's IP service provides briefs in an efficient manner, with instructions that are thorough and comprehensive. Their matters are also appropriately resourced, while the partner always remains accessible."

"Knowledge, communication, responsiveness."

"They are responsive, reliable and with great attention to detail."

"They are very efficient and competent. They are also confident in their advice."

"They are very efficient and reliable."

"They are very experienced, which makes working with them very easy.  They know exactly what documents and information to provide me whenever they seek my assistance.  The process of obtaining a brief and working with them to finalise a submission and/or appear at a hearing is seamless."

"They have great expertise and experience in trademarks, and were able to advise us holistically across many jurisdictions, not just Australia. They looked after all the paperwork and filing so all we needed to do was to review documents they had already prepared, get them executed and they took care of the rest."
