How we work

We are a different type of intellectual property firm.

While our team of highly experienced patent and trade mark attorneys offer all the services you would expect from a full service IP firm, the way we deliver these services (and the level of quality and efficiency you’ll enjoy as a result) is very different.

We appreciate this is a bold statement but there are three reasons we believe Two IP not only offers a better way of working (and a different way of thinking) but is also the perfect choice to become your IP attorneys...

We painstakingly select the right attorneys

We select our attorneys because of their qualities as much as the quality of their work. 

They are all fully-formed senior attorneys with the experience and perspective required to deliver the tailored, intelligent commercial solutions you need.  You can rest assured your attorney comes from the first team, not the development squad.

More than that, we only select attorneys who can demonstrate to us that they want to commit to a select group of their own clients.  This way our attorneys can establish productive and mutually beneficial long-term partnerships built on a desire to do their best work for you, rather than on a desire to chase the standard career path to partnership. 

The reason our selection process is so rigorous is simple.  It is the only way we can guarantee that you enjoy the consistency of service and clarity of advice you need from an attorney who is absolutely yours.

We give your attorney all the time and space they need to think

Your attorney can only do their best work if they are allowed to get on with it.  We do this by taking away all their additional responsibilities and the potential for them to have work dumped on them from other parts of the firm. 

This way your attorney’s only responsibility is to your best interests. 

Free from the usual distractions, your attorney has the time they’ll need to really get to know you, what you want to achieve, what is important to you and exactly what you need from us. 

They also have all the time and space they need to plot the best course for you having weighed up all the possible ramifications, consider all the possible arguments and to work out how best to protect your innovation in the way that will benefit you most.

And the way we work is not solely about finding more time for your attorneys; it is also about saving you time.  We will make the whole process as easy as possible, and your attorney will give you firm advice not just a list of options so you have what you need to make the decisions that will drive your business forward.

We offer you certainty by design

Traditionally only the largest corporate clients have had the volume of work to command the highest service levels.  We have changed that and designed a way of working that means all of our clients can be absolutely certain you will always receive:

Total cost certainty

Your attorney will tell you the fees at the outset so you know exactly what you are paying for and have all the information you’ll need to budget effectively.

Service level certainty

All of our attorneys commit to working with a smaller number of their own clients, so you have their full and undivided attention at all times and they have the time to deliver the highest level of work with the highest level of service. 

Procedural certainty

We have married the best people with the best way of working.  We’ve removed all the usual obstacles to efficiency that attorneys face and created a simplified, decluttered work ecosystem that allows your attorney to do their very best work for you, free from the usual distractions.
