People who make the difference

Over the years, A.A.Thornton & Co. has built its reputation on the calibre of its people and the quality of its services. This is still very much the ethos of the firm today.

Our partners and senior staff are all Chartered or European Patent Attorneys, or Registered or European Trade Mark Attorneys. Many started their careers with the firm. All are personally involved with every aspect of the management and implementation of their clients’ IP portfolios.

New candidates joining the firm are carefully selected to complement our professional and operational profile. Under the mentorship of a partner, they go through a structured training programme as they work towards becoming fully qualified in their own right.

Our support staff are carefully selected and valued too, in recognition of the critical contribution they make to the smooth running of the firm and its services.

This continuity of culture, management and approach has been the foundation of our stability and success. It has also been essential in enabling us to forge and sustain long-term relationships with our clients.

All of the partners, attorneys and assistants listed operate within specialist teams according to their general practice areas and specific expertise. For a more detailed profile, just click on each individual name.
