Are you a patent attorney with an electronics or physics background? Are you looking for a role based outside of London?
We may be able to help, here are a few facts about the regions:
- Salaries outside London are the same as they are in London, so you will have more disposable income (unless you massively upgraded the size of your house)
- The quality of work does not change, in fact you may have more opportunities to meet clients directly as your clients may be closer to where you are located
- Roles outside London can have more visibility to the firm as a whole so it can expedite career advancement
- Typically, work-life balance is better in a non-London office
- Many of the clients dealt with outside London are just as impressive as those within it – one of these firms works with one of the leading telecommunications companies in the world from a base in Yorkshire
- The profile of the firms you will be working with will be the same (if not better) as London. Some of the UK’s largest patent attorney firms are not headquartered in London and their international profile far outstrips many of the London-only competitors
So, if you have been thinking about relocation but have been worried about the impact it might have on your career, we can assure you that the impact is highly likely to be positive and you will have more time to enjoy the countryside.
