This highly sought after accolade recognises partners who demonstrate quality leadership, technical expertise and strong business development skills. The winners will be announced at the Partner of the Year Awards on 28 April 2016, at which some of the industry’s best practitioners will be brought together for an exciting and entertaining evening.

Throughout 2015, Ross was central in the firm securing new and significant patent work from both local and overseas clients.  Ross has also worked with several allied service providers in the commercialisation space to develop a broad range of commercialisation services for clients of the firm.
