About us

Our mission is simple – to be the easiest intellectual property team to work with and to make IP a pain-free experience.

Lawrie is a rapidly expanding firm of European patent and trade mark attorneys based in Glasgow and with satellite offices in Oxford, Cambridge, Derby and Aberdeen. We offer a comprehensive range of intellectual property services to a range of clients in a variety of sectors. We are a client and employee focussed firm who invest time in getting to know our clients. Our attorneys work with each other as a team, our focus being on giving clients the best possible service.

Lawrie is committed to ensuring that it has all necessary systems, procedures and policies in place to allow it to deliver the best possible service to our clients. We therefore invest significant resource and effort in the quality of our internal processes and procedures and data protection. To exemplify this, we have achieved and successfully maintained ISO 9001:2015 Certification for Quality Management Standards and ISO 27001:2013 Certification for Information Security Management.

We were awarded Firm of the Year Prosecution (UK – Scotland) at the Managing IP Awards in 2023 – a joint award for our patent and trade mark teams. Lawrie has also signed up to the IP Inclusive Charter, which demonstrates our commitment to supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the IP profession.

Why work for us?

We’re growing but remain true to our core principles: bespoke advice, personal service and genuine care and respect for both our people and our clients. We are a values-driven firm, these values being key to the way that we work with clients, and the way that we interact with each other. We value our employees, because they are key to the success of both our clients’ businesses and our business. We offer a friendly and supportive working environment and the opportunity to develop your career in line with the growth of the business.

We are committed to providing tailored, high-quality training and encourage our attorneys to express their ideas so that we can continually improve our services. As part of our continued growth, trainees and attorneys are provided with a number of business development opportunities to engage with new and existing clients.

What are we looking for?

The ideal candidate will be motivated, conscientious and diligent, and will take ownership and responsibility for their work. We are looking for candidates who are interested in developing their own client portfolio, while assisting with the growth and expansion of the firm.
