Corporate Social Responsibility

Environmental Responsibility

We are actively engaged in minimising our environmental impact through a range of measures, including:
• Automated lighting systems and energy-efficient use of office spaces
• Extensive reduction of paper usage through electronic file management
• Firm-wide recycling initiatives
• Nearly all internal and external communications are conducted digitally
• Promotion of environmentally friendly commuting, such as a cycle-to-work scheme and support for the use of public transportation

Community Engagement & Charitable Giving

We support a wide range of charitable projects and actively encourage the personal involvement of our staff through initiatives such as fundraising events, volunteer activities, charity runs, bake sales, and participation in local community projects.

Free Educational Initiative

We provide complimentary IP training sessions and workshops for local organisations, including universities, start-up networks, investor and chamber of commerce groups, and professional bodies such as CIPA, CITMA, and the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO). Additionally, we offer free initial consultations on intellectual property matters to businesses in Germany, the UK, and China.

Low Bono Services

On occasion, we offer “low bono” services to organisations and individuals with limited financial resources—typically small non-profit entities. These services may include comprehensive IP advice at significantly reduced rates or targeted support at a low cost. In doing so, we aim to make high-quality IP legal services accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford them.

Inclusive Workplace Culture

Diversity and fairness are fundamental to our work. Fostering an inclusive workplace is a core part of our firm’s culture.
