We have 13 offices in Europe, and 2 offices in the US, giving us outstanding global reach and the ability to represent our clients wherever they need us, in a wide range of languages. Murgitroyd is one of the few IP firms that have an office in Helsinki handling patents and trademarks, as well as other IP rights, in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, as well as the European Patent Office, World Intellectual Property Organisation, and the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
Our attorneys have exceptional experience in every field. They’ve worked in the public and private sectors, with start-up businesses and university spin-outs, with multi-national corporations and with other law practices.

Hear From Our Team
A career in patents offered me a unique combination of science and law – I like the intellectual challenge. I work with interesting clients and keep in touch with new developments in technology. Murgitroyd is different to other companies. The benefits are excellent and there’s a strong focus on work-life balance.
A patent attorney career is stimulating and rewarding, encompassing my interests in technology, design, law and languages. I chose Murgitroyd as I wanted to work in a large, global firm that directly represents multinational clients. The company is very forward thinking, everyone’s friendly and there’s great scope for professional development.
