Dentons Kensington Swan is delighted to congratulate our Intellectual Property Partner Jenni Rutter, on being named New Zealand IP Practitioner of the Year at the 2023 Managing IP Asia-Pacific Awards. In addition, the Firm was also recognised as a finalist for New Zealand IP Firm of the Year.

Dentons Kensington Swan Chair Hayden Wilson says, “We are thrilled that Jenni’s exceptional expertise and dedication to her clients has been recognised. This award highlights Jenni’s passion and expertise in an ever-evolving field of law.”

Jenni has over 25 years’ experience working with some of the world’s largest IP owners in New Zealand and the UK to develop, enforce and commercialise their valuable IP assets. In recent years Jenni has been involved in cases that have been high profile, set precedents and resulted in changes to the IP landscape for businesses and individuals. This award is testament to the fact her clients trust her with their thorniest IP challenges and opportunities.

Jenni Rutter says, “I am surrounded by wonderful clients and colleagues who make it a pleasure to come to work every day. I am very grateful to all of them for making it possible for me to do what I love – work on interesting IP issues and help people to succeed and make a difference in their roles and their communities.”

The Managing IP Awards recognises remarkable achievements and developments within the field of intellectual property over the past year. Now in its 18th year, the awards cover several intellectual property practice areas and more than 50 jurisdictions.
