Careers at Baxter IP

A private Australian IP practice that's dedicated & supportive, transparent and commercial

Do you relish in achieving successful outcomes for your clients? You're in good company.

Our purpose is to partner with clients to provide transparent and commercially astute advice, dedicated to achieving successful outcomes. Baxter IP is always on the lookout for highly motivated individuals who take pride in achieving successful outcomes for their clients.

What makes a firm culture where attorneys thrive? One that's dedicated to supporting those who are still early in their career with oversight, professional development opportunities and mentorship. One that provides greater client and portfolio management autonomy to its seniors and one that's transparent around the data and metrics attorneys need to understand their contribution to the firm.

As a private practice, we're high on recognition and low on politics. You will be recognised and rewarded for your performance, with an attractive remuneration package and ESS (share option scheme for Associates and above). You will be led by a management team that is nimble, adaptive, communicative and meets with you regularly throughout the year.

COMMUNITY & PARTNERSHIPS

Supporting Australia’s innovation community

Since 2018 our patent and trade mark attorneys have run pro bono IP clinics, due diligence reviews and masterclasses for Australian universities, accelerators and industry bodies — across health, defence, agrifood, software and cross-border trade. Founders get commercial IP advice while it can still change the outcome.

Baxter IP is a benefactor of UNSW Founders, the university’s start-up engine, and has supported its programs since 2018.

10X Accelerator

Pro bono patent attorney due diligence for every 10X cohort since 2018 — across the 10X Health, 10X SynBio, 10X Climate, 10X Defence and 10X General streams. Each founder gets a plain-English read on what their venture actually owns, what has already been made public, and which parts are worth protecting before they raise.

New Wave

Built for women founders. We have delivered pro bono workshops, one-to-one advice and mentorship since 2022, covering when a provisional application earns its keep and how to talk to investors and manufacturers without destroying patentability.

Coach & Connect

Baxter IP founder and patent attorney Chris Baxter is a UNSW mentor on the program. The questions here are rarely academic: who owns what once a co-founder leaves, whether a provisional filed eighteen months ago still covers the product that shipped, and what a term sheet quietly assumes about the portfolio.
