Expanding our International Reach

As of September 2025, Wrays, with its proud tradition of innovation and IP excellence in Australia and New Zealand, joined forces with the Rouse Group, a leading international IP firm with offices across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

This collaboration marked an exciting new chapter for Wrays. By combining with Rouse, Wrays is uniquely positioned to offer something no other Australian or New Zealand firm can match: the perfect balance of local expertise and international reach, without compromising our independence.

Together, Wrays and Rouse are transforming how value is delivered to clients. Our combined strength enables us to drive our clients’ global ambitions through seamless access to world-class talent, cutting-edge technology, and strategic opportunities across markets.
