A few words from one of your future colleagues

“When I started as a paralegal just over five years ago, I hardly knew what patents were, but I was attracted by the chance to learn a qualified profession from the ground up. Since then, I have learned and developed tremendously, and I enjoy my work more than I could have hoped. I never tire of learning new things – they never run out in the IP world – and I appreciate my positive and competent colleagues with whom I can always discuss questions. At EIP, I get the chance to continue developing and challenging myself with a lot of support from the company and especially my team. If you are curious, organized, and like the idea of delivering high-quality services to clients alongside friendly colleagues, this could be the job for you.”
