MIP World IP Survey 2010 said of Griffith Hack: "Widely-respected in the marketplace, the team is adjusting well to its status as a chief contender in the litigious arena, a position solidified two years ago when it lured away big-time lawyers Wayne Condon and Russell Berry from Clayton Utz. Filing numbers show Griffith Hack's impressive presence in prosecution work: It was the top Madrid filer in the country in 2009, the leading Australian PCT filer in 2009 according to Managing IP's PCT survey and led the charge on all IP matters filed in the Federal Court of Australia during the first half of 2009."


Griffith Hack has been named IP Specialist Firm of the Year 2011 by Australasian Legal Business (ALB).
