Reflecting both the current demand for specialist IP services and the expertise of its people, national IP firm Wrays has announced a raft of senior promotions.
Seven practitioners from Wrays’ legal, patent attorney and consulting practices have been promoted to Principals of the firm; Albert Ferraloro, Chris Juhasz, Craig Humphris, Joe Seisdedos, Jo Woodfield, Linda Kennaugh, and Marie Wong. The promotions range across Wrays’ Sydney, Perth and Adelaide offices.
“With more than 100 years of intellectual property experience between them, these practitioners are our new generation of leaders and part of the reason we continue to grow as we provide services at the highest standard and value for money,” said Wrays’ CEO Frank Hurley.
“Although we are a mid-tier firm, we are recognised as market leaders in intellectual property because of the depth and breadth of our expertise and the commercially-astute advice we provide across a broad range of technical and legal disciplines.
“We are now particularly well placed to capitalise on a key business trend in Australia – the recognition of intellectual property as one of businesses’ most crucial assets, which needs to be commercialised and protected.”
Wrays has a wide range of blue-chip clients across sectors including resources, information technology, pharmaceuticals, defence and aerospace. Wrays is an Intellectual Asset Magazine (IAM) Patent 1000 recommended firm and was recently named a finalist in BRW’s Mid-Market Awards.
Wrays has also appointed Lara Gun, formerly of Allens, as a Senior Associate in its Sydney office. Lara brings with her 13 years of intellectual property experience.
