We are delighted to share that Pearce IP has been ranked in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms – Australia in the categories of Life Sciences and Intellectual Property.
Published by Best Lawyers and underpinned by a rigorous methodology, the Best Law Firms – Australia is in its third edition. This is the second time Pearce IP has been recognised, with rankings in both Life Sciences and IP.
With the Sydney region category spanning a broad footprint – from the Sydney CBD and Greater Sydney through to the Hunter region, Southern Highlands, Central West NSW, and the Illawarra – these rankings recognise excellence across one of Australia’s most commercially significant and highly competitive legal markets.
Being ranked among the top 3% of law firms nationally is a significant achievement and reflects our consistent focus on excellence, as well as our commitment to delivering meaningful results for our clients.
Naomi Pearce, founder and CEO of Pearce IP says:
“I never cease to be impressed by the calibre and commitment of the Pearce IP team. It is both a pleasure and a privilege to see the firm again recognised for its legal/IP sophistication and industry specialisation. This achievement reflects the strength of our independent, values-driven approach and our unwavering focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.”
Earlier this year, Helen Macpherson was also recognised in Best Lawyers Australia 2027 for Intellectual Property Law and Life Sciences, continuing her unbroken run of listings every year since 2017.
