Our goal is to maintain exceptionally high standards and to continually exceed our clients’ expectations. We aim to provide commercially focused, proactive advice drawing on extensive pharmaceutical industry experience. Our client portfolio covers the spectrum of small businesses to industry leading FTSE 100 companies, including start-ups, academic research organisations, university spin-outs and venture capital funds. We offer a full range of patent services, including patent drafting and prosecution, IP portfolio management advice and due diligence reviews.

Sagittarius IP has featured as a leading firm in the Financial Times review of Europe’s patent law firms since its inception in 2019 and has maintained “Gold” ratings for the chemistry and biotechnology fields. We have built this first-class reputation on the results we achieve for our clients and, as a result, much of our new business comes through recommendations.

Why work for Sagittarius IP?

From day one with the firm our trainees are exposed to a variety of work under the supervision of our attorneys, joining meetings with inventors and assisting our attorneys when they participate in hearings. Trainees are involved in drafting new patent applications, corresponding with clients and patent offices, preparing for and attending EPO oppositions and appeals, and providing freedom to operate advice. Our trainees are given real responsibility early on in their careers, and they make a significant contribution to client work within their first year. Following qualification, attorneys are given significant autonomy and involvement in client relationship management.

Sagittarius IP is heavily involved in training within the profession. We provide in-house exam tutorials in parallel with placement on external courses to put our trainees in the best possible position to qualify and be successful in their careers going forward.

We offer a competitive salary, attractive bonus scheme and hybrid home/office working arrangements across our multiple locations.
