Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick
promotes two new Principals
Marine Guillou
Danielle Burns
Marine specialises in anti-counterfeiting programs,
customs proceedings and training, and advising
clients on trade mark prosecution. Marine has built
the largest anti-counterfeiting practice in Australia.

Prior to moving to Australia and joining POF, Marine
was notably in-house lawyer for the French anti-
counterfeiting Group, Union Des Fabricants (Unifab),
and worked as an anti-counterfeiting area Manager
with Société Bic. Marine has participated in working
groups such as Interpol Intellectual Property Crime
Action Group and Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group.

Danielle has extensive experience as a scientist
and as a patent attorney with expertise in patent
strategy, protection and enforcement in the
Biotech sector. She has a strong understanding
of global patent and regulatory exclusivities
(including data and market exclusivities) and has
facilitated entry of several biopharmaceuticals
(including antibodies and antisense molecules),
diagnostics, cellular therapeutics, and agricultural
products (including transgenic plants) to market.

Danielle has a diverse client base – working with
several local and overseas biotech companies,
including small to medium entities, big pharmaceutical
and generics/biosimilar companies as well as
academic institutions to strategically protect their
intellectual property and facilitate market entry.

“These two promotions reflect our confidence in
the future of Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick coming
out of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continue our
development of client-focused talent within the firm.

Marine and Dani are both dynamic professionals,
and they are a testament to our strong and diverse
pipeline of future leaders. We value their outstanding
practice management, cross-firm teamwork and
professional excellence. I look forward to their
contribution to the ongoing success of our firm”
