To me, getting on board early in the piece is advantageous because my range of experience as an IP attorney in both contentious patent and trade mark issues allows us to determine the approach most likely to maximise benefits to the client. Positive outcomes for our clients are what matter most to me.–Martin Earley - Director, Victoria Region Manager, Patent & Trade Mark Attorney

His expertise spans technologies as diverse as medical and mechanical devices, consumer goods, information technology, telecommunication, physics and nanotechnology.
