About the Author
This publication is researched and written by Alex Drummond, a financial analyst specialising in Australian legal services pricing. Alex's research focuses on fee transparency, cost structures, and value analysis, drawing exclusively on publicly available pricing data and fee schedules.
Cost Research Methodology
Our fee comparisons assess firms across five pricing criteria:
- Fee transparency — Does the firm publish pricing? Are quotes clear and itemised?
- Pricing model — Fixed-fee, hourly, or hybrid. What model does the firm use and how does it compare?
- Government fee handling — How firms handle IP Australia filing fees and whether they're included or separate.
- Total cost of registration — The complete cost from search through registration, including potential additional expenses.
- Value assessment — Cost relative to the scope of service, specialisation depth, and client segment served.
Data Sources
All cost analysis draws exclusively on publicly available information:
- Firm websites and published pricing pages
- IP Australia published fee schedules
- TTIPAB public register of registered trade marks attorneys
- Publicly stated fixed-fee packages and service descriptions
- Published case studies referencing costs and outcomes
