ABOUT US

With new ways of remote working and added pressures on corporations and law firms to limit or reduce headcount and reduce legal spend, there is a growing need for para-professional support. Innovative Paralegals® was formed by intellectual property paralegals with decades of global experience, both in-house with corporations and with leading international law firms, and by the founder of two leading service providers to the global intellectual property community. We are committed to delivering high quality, cost effective and timely services.

The full array of services offered by Innovative Paralegals® is listed in Our Services. As paralegals, we do not provide legal advice and all work is performed under the supervision of our clients’ attorneys to maintain the highest ethical standards and preserve attorney client privilege.
