From qualified positions in private practice and industry...
I joined Potter Clarkson in January 2001 having previously worked both in private practice and industry.
Potter Clarkson is a well run organisation in which many management functions are handled by professional managers, leaving attorneys to concentrate on intellectual property issues for their clients. Nevertheless there are numerous opportunities to become involved in other areas such as business development both in the UK and elsewhere.
The friendly atmosphere within the firm, and the team approach taken where appropriate, are refreshing and contribute to an efficient working environment.
It's great to be part of a firm that takes training and continuing professional development seriously, for example by having monthly meetings during which relevant issues may be raised and discussed, and running in house tutorials for trainees.
