- 'The chambers is an IP powerhouse with an excellent clerking team. Nick Hill is first rate, junior clerk Georgia Onyett is learning the ropes well and Zena Robbins on reception is a warm and welcoming presence for all clients.'
- 'The clerks are generally just a pleasure to deal with. We get fantastic service from all of the clerks but I have been very impressed with Owen Beedle this year. He has handled a complex matter for me with great professionalism and skill and always with good humour. Nick Hill is always fantastic to deal with and I appreciate his input and guidance on advocate options and listings.'
- 'The clerks are fantastic, in particular Nick Hill, who is the best clerk in town. He is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and available. He will go out of his way to ensure that you are looked after, will push for the best position in listing and other court matters whilst always being extremely professional and friendly. I cannot think of a better clerks’ room in IP specialist chambers.'
