Job description

The patent and trade mark attorney sector is unusual.

In some ways, the firms are like law firms. They provide legal advice and services to their clients.

And the best firms have a sharp focus on client relationships, top quality work and hiring and looking after the very best people.

But we\342\200\231re also different. We are focused solely on patents and trade marks, and so our clients are drawn from the world\342\200\231s most innovative technology companies and brand owners.
