Hear from our Sweden trainees:

"Being a trainee at EIP has been a perfect way to start my career in patents. I really enjoy working with various engineering fields and combining technology with law. Being an international firm, EIP is also a great place for learning, with colleagues and clients all over the world."

Samuel Edlund

"Since starting at EIP, no two days have been the same. One day you're deeply focused on a draft, and next day entails carefully puzzling together an argumentation in an entirely different area of technology. We're such a small office that you get to work with and learn from everyone."
