TAKE BACK CONTROL! Of your working life, your income and your future!
This is an IP practice which not only thinks differently, but acts differently too. They believe in giving experienced and established patent attorneys the freedom and support they need to do your very best work while you maintain full control of your earnings, your working hours, your career and your work/life balance.
Having worked in private practice for many years themselves, they know what stops attorneys from enjoying that freedom and that control, so they've removed all of those obstacles to create a simplified, decluttered work ecosystem that allows you to do the work you want to do, in the way you want to do it, while they take care of everything else.
