Griffith Hack

Griffith Hack became a member of the IPH Group following IPH’s acquisition of Xenith IP in 2019. The firm expanded in 2020 with the integration of IP firm Watermark. Despite several changes in recent years, the firm has maintained its position as one of the leading boutiques in the Australian IP market for IP protection work.

The firm has a large team of experienced patent practitioners including Amanda Stark, Karen Sinclair, Nick Mountford, Greg Munt, and Rosie Stramandinoli. The soft IP team features trade mark attorneys and lawyers such as Derek Baigent, Kelly Stonier, Nicola Scheepers, Andrew Goatcher and Chris Sgourakis.
