Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Addisons provides the quality and experience of bigger Australian firms, but with the client focus and approachability of a smaller firm. Their legal advice is astute, commercial, and of the highest level.’

  • ‘James Lawrence is an exceptional intellectual property lawyer. James is particularly well-regarded in relation to patent matters in the tech space, providing advice to clients, patent attorney firms, and the Institute of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys of Australia (IPTA). He keeps up to date with legal trends and practices, and readily understands technical nuances in patent litigation and licensing.’
