POF Partner, Chris Schlicht, is the exclusive winner of the 2014 International Law Office Client Choice Award for ‘Intellectual Property – Trade Marks (Australia)’. Chris received this prestigious award following nominations from his clients, who provided positive reviews of his service and expertise.
The awards recognise and celebrate individuals and law firms around the world that are experts in their field, consistently deliver quality advice and provide excellent customer service that exceeds expectations. Uniquely, it is only possible to be nominated for a Client Choice Award by Corporate Counsel.
The winners of the Client Choice awards are decided based on several criteria including the quality of legal advice, value for money, commercial awareness, effective communication, billing transparency, tailored fee structures, response time, sharing of expertise and use of technology. Once shortlists have been determined, nominees are invited to submit five referees, who will then be conducted by the research team for interview.
Chris said, “I am delighted to have won a Client Choice Award, and I would like to thank the clients who nominated me. It is an honour to accept this award on behalf of the POF Group, as it is our goal to continuously provide the best quality service and advice to our clients across all facets of intellectual property law from conception to enforcement.”
