Australian IP law firm Davies Collison Cave (DCC) is set to open an office in Singapore in the second half of 2015.

The office is the firm’s first outside of Australia, where it currently has a presence in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Newcastle, Canberra and Geelong, among others. 

The Singapore office aims to provide patent drafting and patent and design filing and prosecution services to local and international clients.

“This is an extremely exciting new endeavour for the firm,” said Leon Allen, managing partner of DCC, in a statement. “Singapore has had great success in nurturing a culture of innovation across a range of technologies. We believe the high quality patent related services that our attorneys consistently provide will be a great addition to the Singapore innovation landscape.”

DCC currently has more than 285 employees, including 36 partners, in seven Australian offices.
