Paul Kirton
About Me
Paul was an engineer before he was a lawyer. His work for more than 25 years has been intellectual property, trade and competition law, but the engineer’s love of finding new ways to solve problems and make things work, helps him achieve great results for his clients.

Paul’s clients vary from local manufacturers to national subsidiaries of global corporations. They all need guidance in the increasingly aggressive regulatory environment in Australia and competitive environment globally.

Paul works on the ground with his clients and knows what to do to protect their businesses or how to deal with a crisis, like a product recall. His ability to understand both the technical and legal side of the problem makes for a faster, more practical and commercially clever solution.

Paul is part of Macpherson Kelley’s Intellectual Property team, which has been ranked in The Legal 500 Asia Pacific guide. Macpherson Kelley is listed as a leading firm by the World Trademark Review 1000.

“Clients can rely on me to get things done in a practical and commercial way. I understand the technologies and business drivers that underpin their legal issues.”
