Welcome from the Chairman
Steve Howe
Chairman
At Reddie & Grose, we appreciate our colleagues, we value their knowledge, skills, and experience. We understand the significance of work in their lives and appreciate the dedication each person brings to our firm.
We are proud to say that our ethos has always been to make our firm a place where people want to work. We believe in investing time and resource into achieving a cohesive working environment which will help us to retain and attract the best talent.
We advocate a good work-life balance for all our staff and have a welcoming and inclusive culture. We appreciate the diversity within our teams and encourage this to maintain our success. To help our staff to reach their full potential we provide a training programme that is recognised as being one of the best in the profession, and are very proud of the fact that many of our partners trained, and have chosen to remain, with us.
We are always pleased to hear from individuals who are interested in joining Reddie & Grose. This is an exciting time for the firm which is growing to accommodate an expanding client base, and as a result, a number of new opportunities are becoming available.
Practice Areas
We are proud of the longstanding relationships we have developed with our clients – we have acted for some for over 30 years and they trust us to provide a quality service in the following business sectors:
Electrical, Electronics & Software (EES)
We have a large electrical and electronic engineering group with over 15 partners, attorneys and technical assistants at various levels of qualification. The group continues to grow with further recruitment at both attorney and assistant level expected in the coming years. The size of the group means that we can both cover a wide range of technologies and can adapt and take on new concepts, enabling us to support clients across the whole sector.
Life Science (LS)
We work closely with companies in the UK and overseas helping them to obtain worldwide patent protection to maximise their investment in research and development. We are experts in devising overall strategies for maximising patent protection for a product and our experience in obtaining patents worldwide means that we can offer clients the best advice on claiming an invention in any given country.
Engineering, Materials & Consumer products (EMCP)
The attorneys in our team have Master’s and PhD level qualifications in subjects including Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering and Engineering Science. Many of them also have first-hand experience of working in mechanical engineering and automotive engineering environments, including the design and testing of vehicle steering systems, vehicle production engineering, and combustion engine development. Their industrial experience ranges from a major Japanese automotive manufacturer to an F1 team. The team also includes a former EPO Examiner and a patent attorney litigator qualified to act for clients in the High Court.
Trade Marks (TM)
We have a strong Trade Marks team who have a wide range of experience of registering and enforcing trade mark rights around the world. We have a high proportion of partners handling trade marks compared with many UK firms and we offer clients a wide range of trade mark services. From obtaining trade mark rights, managing portfolios, offering protection strategies to helping with disputes and oppositions, we are on hand to assist clients with their trade mark needs.
Social events
Reddie & Grose is a friendly place to work and our social events team organise a number of events throughout the year.
A bowling event at All Star Lanes near our London office. It featured cocktails, canapés, karaoke, and even some bowling.
Several picnic and softball evenings, battling it out against other attorney firms.
Team fund raising for Cancer Research at the Race for Life in Regent’s Park.
A pub quiz and a Cambridge punting expedition.
