Leadership qualities
Open Days 2010
If you have an interest in training to become a patent attorney and would like to learn about whether it is the right career for you, you may wish to attend an Open Day at our offices in London.
A distinctive culture
At Carpmaels & Ransford you’ll find intellectual energy, a supportive environment, high levels of enthusiasm and an enjoyment of what we do. You’ll also find a firm with a healthy work/life balance and people who pursue a whole range of outside interests. Yes, we work hard but we believe our firm is better for having people with a varied background and outside interest.
High calibre of people
Unlike most other firms, you will have the opportunity to learn from many partners, not just one. The central ethic of the firm is that we share and grow our expertise together. We never stop learning and we learn from each other. Partners are unembarrassed about consulting other partners, and trainees discover an environment where questions are always welcomed.
MoreThis means that you will have ample opportunity to learn from some of the best and most respected attorneys in the world. Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and Managing Intellectual Property have each ranked Carpmaels & Ransford in their very highest tier.

The social side
Holborn (with its close proximity to Covent Garden & Oxford Street) has a vibrant atmosphere and provides an endless variety of bars, restaurants and shops with some of London’s most beautiful squares nearby. Our staff take ample advantage of these amenities with regular “Friday drinks” and informal lunches together. Our in-house café area with adjoining terrace provides a central meeting point at both lunchtimes and informal meetings during the day. The New Year and Summer parties are regular features in the social calendar.
MoreWith many keen sportsmen and women of all abilities in the firm, we regularly organise cricket and softball matches and participate in CIPA and ITMA events such as quizzes, sailing, dragon boat racing and football tournaments (won by C&R in 2009). We’re a charitable bunch too, fielding a large contingent of runners in the British 10k run each year plus many individual efforts such as the London to Brighton bike ride, four marathons in four days and others too numerous to mention. There is also a diverse array of musical talent in the firm.
