We are pleased to share that Wendy Crosby, Annette Flaherty, Barry Moore, and Russell Thom have each been recognised as Patent Stars 2025 by Managing IP, a leading publication in the field of intellectual property.

This recognition highlights their strong technical capabilities and the consistent value they bring to clients navigating complex patent matters. With years of experience advising across sectors and jurisdictions, they continue to play a vital role in helping businesses protect and maximise the value of their innovations.

Managing IP’s Patent Stars list is compiled through rigorous research and peer feedback. It spotlights those who are widely respected by clients and industry colleagues for their work in patent prosecution, litigation, and strategy.

We are especially proud to see Wendy honoured once again this year, following her recent inclusion in the Top 250 Women in IP 2025 list, which further reflects her leadership and standing in the IP community.

Congratulations to all four on this well-earned recognition. Their success speaks to the strength of our team and our shared commitment to excellence in intellectual property law.
