Work
We have a high proportion and good variety of rewarding direct client work. Dealing with direct clients provides an excellent opportunity to acquire those skills required for qualification. Our client base includes large well known blue chip organisations and a large number of SMEs. We also deal with start-up companies where our advice can make a material difference to the success of the company. Our clients cover a large range of technologies, the electronics and telecommunication fields and an expanding biotech and chemistry practice.

Working environment
Our firm has a friendly atmosphere, exemplified by our ‘dress-down’ policy. Our working environment is particularly suited to self-motivated individuals who are looking for a proactive role both in the firm and with clients.

Training
Our trainees are encouraged to qualify as UK and European patent attorneys or registered trade mark attorneys. We support regular attendance at lectures and tutorials organised by CIPA/ITMA and in house tutorials.

Most of our trainees attend the Queen Mary University of London Certificate course and have a good record in passing exams. We believe that this is because we are able to provide the range of work which facilitates professional development. Our trainees are at various stages of qualification and provide each other with good motivation and support.
