National intellectual property (IP) firm Wrays has been announced Best Mid-Market exporter in the BRW GE Capital Momentum Mid-Market Awards 2013, which celebrate and recognise Australia’s best mid-market businesses. The awards were announced at a cocktail function in Sydney last night, with Wrays the only patent attorney or law firm to have made the short list across the ten award categories.
“Wrays is proud to accept this award. Over 50 per cent of our revenues come from overseas clients and a large network of associates. 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,” said the firm’s Chief Executive Officer Frank Hurley.
“Wrays’ clients also benefit from extensive international experience, particularly in the complex field of patent litigation, where being able to deal with cross-jurisdictional intellectual property issues is particularly important.”
In a competitive legal market, Wrays’ export focus is based not only on technical excellence but also on longstanding relationships with overseas clients and an extensive network of associates. The firm’s global network goes beyond foreign patent and trade mark associates and includes other practitioners and service providers relating to commercialisation, IP evaluation, funding and brokering.
Wrays has over 70 employees and offices in Perth, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane. The firm’s client base includes the information technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, defence and aerospace sectors.
Wrays recently made seven senior promotions reflecting strong growth in demand for specialist intellectual property services, and has been recognised as an Intellectual Asset Magazine (IAM) Patent 1000 recommended firm.
