Working with Robert has been refreshing. I have more control over the IP process, the quality of advice we receive is highly interactive, strategic and tailored to our needs, and our workload has hugely reduced.

- Ralf Schlothauer, Comvita New Zealand

CreateIP is fully operational again at our office on Bealey Avenue, in fact we are busier than ever. We are pleased to be welcoming more new clients to the fold every day, and have recently taken on some additional talent: Lisa Kauke and Amanda Smith.

Originally from the US, Lisa is a graduate of the University of Canterbury's Master of Engineering programme, and is helping to support our patent law practice and clients. Amanda has extensive experience as a legal executive and is now working her way towards a degree; she will be working with our trade mark clients.

The CreateIP team is stronger than ever, but we are still considering ourselves very lucky given the devastation inflicted by the latest earthquake, and our hearts go out to those in the city that have lost loves ones, homes and businesses. CreateIP is committed to remaining in Christchurch and doing our bit to help rebuild the city.
