We are excited to announce that Pearce IP’s Founder Naomi Pearce is one of 7 shortlisted last week by Managing IP for the Award of “Practitioner of the Year” for Australia for 2023, with the winner to be announced in Singapore in May.

Naomi founded Pearce IP in 2017, and it quickly grew from a team of 1, to a thriving team larger than most BigLaw patent teams.  With talent selected from the best-of-the-best from around the country, it is no surprise that Pearce IP, and its leaders, are ranked in virtually every notable directory.

Pearce IP’s Special Counsel Jacinta Flattery-O’Brien says:

It is no surprise to those who know Naomi and her extraordinary achievements that she has been shortlisted for the prestigious MIP “Practitioner of the Year” award.  Growing a successful, internationally-recognised IP practice from scratch within a five-year period requires a unique skill set including a fierce commitment to protecting clients’ interests, a deep appreciation of commercial imperatives, legal expertise that is second to none, as well as an unwavering focus on the firm’s future and, perhaps most importantly, genuine love of a professional challenge.  Naomi has all of that in spades and would be a deserving winner in this category.
