Challenging work
You will work on a team with other professionals
including lawyers, patent and trademark agents, paralegal
staff, and other specialists who have a wide range of expertise
in the areas of biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, mechanical
and civil engineering, electronics, e-commerce, computer,
communication technologies and business.
You’ll want to demonstrate your “whatever
I can do to help” attitude because you understand that
it’s what sustained growth takes.
As your expertise develops, so will your
role. We understand the value of being challenged. Our members
are encouraged to expand the boundaries of their roles, to
seek out gaps and fill them with their knowledge and experiences.
We give you challenging work but we also expect you to challenge
yourself.
Continuous learning
It all starts with an orientation of our
practice areas: Patents, Trademarks and Legal / Litigation.
You will be introduced to all the members in each department
and given an introduction to their key responsibilities, functions,
systems and processes and how other departments support you.
And the learning doesn’t stop there.
There is on-the-job training, “lunch ‘n learn”
sessions, study groups, external workshops / conferences and
of course ‘brain picking’. You and your Hub Leader
will work out where the best learning opportunities are for
you.
To know where you stand
We have developed an employee performance
system that outlines the expectations for each position in
the firm. There are also clearly defined performance standards
for the entire firm.
You will participate in your performance
review and evaluation with your Hub Leader who provides concrete
feedback about your performance, including feedback about
your interaction with other members of the firm. This gives
everyone an opportunity for open discussion and on going feedback.
