During the first half of 2008, Australasian Legal Business Magazine (ALB) conducted a series of surveys with hundreds of commercial buyers of legal services across Australia. The surveys focused on insurance law, environmental law and intellectual property law. Cooper Grace Ward has been ranked as a leading firm in all three areas in Queensland, Australia.
Cooper Grace Ward once again polled very highly in ALB’s client survey. The full service, Brisbane based firm was lauded by both national and international clients for being able to “advise excellently on the intersection between commercial and IP law”. Clients also spoke favourably of the firm’s ability to offer a “one-stop commercial shop”.
According to the surveys CGW’s Environmental Law Partner, Kevin Bartlett, is “highly regarded by clients” as having a “sound legal mind”.
CGW’s leading insurance practice was voted as being “ahead of the pack” with “outstanding general insurance skills”.
