Naomi Pearce is 2022 Lexology Client Choice Award Winner for Life Sciences

Pearce IP congratulates its CEO, Executive Lawyer, Patent Attorney and Trade Mark Attorney Naomi Pearce for being the exclusive winner of the 2022 Lexology Client Choice Award for Life Sciences.

Naomi is one of 18 Client Choice winners in Australia, and the only Australian lawyer/attorney recognised in the life sciences category which is highly competitive.  Client Choice recognised 651 winners across 70 jurisdictions worldwide.

Client Choice is a client driven award.  Corporate counsel are asked to rate individuals on quality of advice, commercial awareness, industry knowledge, strategic thinking, billing transparency, tailored fee structures, value for money, responsiveness, effective communication, clarity of documentation, sharing of expertise, appropriate staffing, project management, use of technology, loyalty and ethics.

Lexology reports the following comments made by corporate counsel about Naomi:

“Naomi is a first-class advisor in the field of pharmaceutical law, bringing together technical knowledge, regulatory experience and a huge depth of knowledge of patent law.”

 

“The size and strength of Naomi’s team and the quality of the clients and matters speaks volumes.”

 

“Naomi Pearce is a multiple-award winning principal and an inspiration to her team and to other lawyers.”

 

“Naomi has a co-operative and enquiring approach, making working with her both stimulating and enjoyable, whilst ensuring the best possible outcomes.”

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

“Naomi is an outstanding example of an IP lawyer who hones in on her clients’ needs and delivers in spades.  Her success in developing a multi-award-winning full service IP firm specialising in pharmaceuticals and life sciences was achieved in record time due, in no small measure, to Naomi’s legendary relentless pursuit of excellence.”

We also congratulate Katrina Howard SC for being the only Australian barrister to receive the Client Choice Award for Life Sciences.

Client Choice Award

Established in 2005, Client Choice recognises those individuals around the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service. The criteria for this recognition focus on an ability to add real value to clients’ business above and beyond the other players in the market. Uniquely, lawyers can be nominated only by corporate counsel, with this year’s winners chosen from a pool of more than 2,000 individual client assessments.

Client Choice Methodology

To ensure that the results cannot be influenced, law firms are not informed when this initial round of research is conducted.  The results of this survey are used to draw up shortlists by country and work area, and shortlisted candidates are then invited to submit up to five client referees. The research team conducts follow-up interviews and additional research where necessary.
