Patent & Trade Mark
We can’t trade mark recruitment, but we’ve certainly left our stamp on it.
Sacco Mann is a leading name in IP recruitment and our specialist Patent and Trade Mark Division, established in 2006, is one of the largest teams in the sector.
Acting for Clients throughout the UK, our experienced Consultants work with a huge variety of businesses, from Patent and Trade Mark practices to IP departments within law firms, boutique IP practices to In-House teams within innovative start-ups through to household name companies.
Advising such a range of Clients on their recruitment strategies provides us with a broad overview, as well as an in-depth knowledge of the market, at every level of qualification and experience. Part and Fully Qualified Patent Attorneys, Trade Mark Attorneys, Secretaries, Administrators, Paralegals, Partners and Directors come to us for our expertise and confidential guidance throughout their careers.
This may be with a view to moving jobs, but equally it may be a discussion about how to improve their current role. We advise on salary reviews, bonus structures, flexible working as well as flexible benefits, how to approach appraisals and applications for Partnership, as well as the implications of, and opportunities for, moving between practice and industry.
Our bespoke, consultative approach has created close, long-standing relationships with our Clients and individual contacts throughout the IP profession. This gives us a unique insight into their strategy and plans for growth, and frequently allows us to create career opportunities for those we’re talking to before a vacancy has even arisen.
Whether you’re working in practice or industry, wherever you are in the UK, and whether you’re looking to move, looking to recruit, or you simply want some strategic advice on your career or business plans, please give one of us a call for a further discussion in complete confidence.
What can we offer?
An utterly bespoke, individual service from an experienced Consultant with detailed market knowledge.
The quality of our connections and the influence we have with them allows us to ‘carve out’ suitable opportunities. So many processes fail through a lack of knowledge of ‘common goals’.
At partner level the feedback we get is that our advice is so important. Getting a move ‘right’ is vital. We have the context and understanding of the market to assist your decision.
Success breeds success. We know our Clients extremely well; they value our involvement and welcome and respect our input. This allows us to ‘properly’ introduce you to them.
The minutiae are important, we understand this and it is why we have a detail orientated approach focussing on; Client support, effective systems, personal autonomy, working practices, flexibility, work/life balance and more.
Confidentiality & Trust. It goes without saying and is proven in the number of Candidates who have worked solely with us throughout their entire careers.
