How We Live Our Values: Ambition
Being a trainee trade mark attorney means asking questions, listening closely and actively looking for ways to improve. Whether exploring the type or scope of protection, I approach each task with curiosity and a desire to understand the full picture. That mindset helps me keep developing and deliver better outcomes for our clients.
In My Own Words
The most rewarding part of my role is seeing how I’ve helped secure, expand or defend the trade marks and brands I’ve worked on. I also enjoy engaging with the products and services linked to those brands. It adds a real-world connection to my work.
