The workplace

At Beck Greener, we recognise that people are the heart of our business. So we aim to provide a friendly and stimulating working environment.

 

We strongly believe in the importance of striking a sensible work/life balance. For example, we offer part-time partnership and are flexible, wherever possible, regarding our team members’ normal working hours. We also offer an extra half-day’s paid leave to help staff with their Christmas shopping.

For those who enjoy an active social life, Beck Greener is a very sociable firm. We usually host firm-wide social events each month and are regular participants in sports and other events organised by CIPA and CITMA.

The health and well-being of our people is very important to us. For example, we offer free eye checks and flu vaccinations to all staff members, and will subsidise the purchase of spectacles required for working at a computer.

We also encourage and facilitate team members’ personal development. A very successful mentoring programme helps fee-earning trainees to prepare for their examinations while we also support non-fee-earning staff in gaining further qualifications.

Beck Greener is an equal opportunities employer, dedicated to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity within the firm. In this regard, we are pleased to support ‘IP Inclusive’, an initiative for promoting these aspirations within the IP community generally. The firm signed up to the IP Inclusive charter in May 2016 and we encourage our people to work together with mutual respect as we believe this fosters a culture in which we can all develop.
