    MWA - Begin Your Journey

    We believe strong partnerships are key to delivering meaningful impact. By collaborating with organisations that share our values, we’re able to extend our reach beyond recruitment and support our clients, our profession, and the wider community in a more meaningful way. These relationships allow us to combine expertise, share ideas, and contribute to initiatives that drive positive change.

    IP-Safe

    As experts in IP and Patent Attorney recruitment, we understand how resource-intensive managing an in-house IP department can be. That’s why we’ve partnered with IP-Safe, a trusted European provider of IP administration services, to offer our clients a secure, flexible solution. IP-Safe, established in 2016 by experienced IP paralegals, separates administration from IP counselling and allows you to work with the IP attorney of your choice. Their services can support anything from a single filing to the management of an entire portfolio, tailored to your needs.

    MWA and IP-Safe share a long-standing relationship and a commitment to high service standards. Over the past decade, we’ve served more than 100 clients across Europe and built strong connections with heads of IP departments and law firm partners. IP-Safe’s approach mirrors our ethos, which is why we confidently recommend them to help your department operate more efficiently.

    If you’re considering outsourcing some or all of your IP administrative processes, or would like a free evaluation of your current workflow, we’d be happy to discuss how MWA and IP-Safe can support you. To find out more, get in touch today or call +44 11 3391 0862.

    IP4ET

    IP4ET

    Businesses have a responsibility to make a positive impact, and the IP profession plays a vital role in supporting the global transition to cleaner technologies. That’s why MWA has joined IP4ET (Intellectual Property for Energy Transition), a community helping the IP world take practical action toward decarbonisation and sustainable innovation.

    Founded by Simone Frattasi (Maersk) and Fabrice Mattei (Rouse), IP4ET brings together organisations across the IP ecosystem to raise awareness of climate challenges, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support the shift to sustainable technologies. The community develops best practices that help members measure, reduce, and offset emissions while driving positive change in the profession.

    Through this partnership, MWA supports initiatives that turn ideas into action, from calculating carbon footprints to refining patent strategies and promoting sustainable licensing. We encourage clients and contacts to explore IP4ET – membership is free and open to anyone committed to making a difference.

    Candlelighters

    Our Chosen Charity

    At MWA we believe that running a business brings responsibility and should have a positive impact on our society. Business is about more than just making profit and when we are doing well we want our chosen charity and community partners to benefit.

    Our nominated charity is Candlelighters, an organisation close to our hearts and based near our Yorkshire office that supports and cares for children with cancer and their families. Candlelighters funds cancer research, family holidays, grants, essential additional services within hospital and provides vital support for families battling children’s cancer.

    Once a candidate has been successfully placed in a role we donate a proportion of the fee to Candlelighters. We have had an incredibly positive response to this initiative from both candidates and clients. We hope that our contribution will go some way to helping such a worthwhile cause. And as a people-centric business, it is an obvious choice to help such a commendable charity.
