We're specifically looking for Engineering graduates with some form of a law background rather than straight law graduates, as we find that having knowledge of engineering gives you the ability to break down the components of a situation or product applying for a patent.
The Baxter IP Philosophy

1. We provide the same level of service that we would like to receive
2. We regularly communicate with clients about processes, possible outcomes and costs
3. We are upfront and down-to-earth in our advice
4. We provide comprehensive advice and turn around projects on-time
5. We help clients to profit from their intellectual property
6. We provide fixed-cost services where possible
7. We do not charge disbursement fees for things like photocopying, emails, faxes, or telephone conferences
8. We walk in our client's shoes (we know what it is like - because we have worked in Industry!)
Our team has experience drafting in a broad range of technologies, including:
