Description:

Justin completed parallel degrees in law and science at the University of Queensland. He majored in

Most of Justin’s work in London involved an international element. He focused on contentious patent

pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, and electronics businesses.
Since joining Griffith Hack Justin has managed complex and high profile patent and design litigation, and
