Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, parenthood, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marital and civil partnership status.
We aspire to have a diverse workforce because, in our view, diversity enables better business outcomes. We also believe that a more inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together and can be themselves, ensures better outcomes for all staff and for our clients.
Openshaw & Co. is a signatory to the IP Inclusive EDI Charter, an award-winning network of Intellectual Property professionals, working to make our community more equal, diverse, and inclusive.
Fully embracing and utilizing technology – realising the benefits of Social Mobility

This flexibility is not only hugely valued by the team, driving retention, but it also means we have an unrestricted talent pool to work with – not only ensuring the highest quality and caliber of candidates, but also securing greater diversity
within our team. Remote working also significantly reduces unnecessary CO2 emissions generated through the daily commute.
