SUGIMURA & Partners

SUGIMURA & Partners is committed to diversity, inclusivity and equity in all aspects of our firm. Our firm respects and welcomes people from all backgrounds, irrespective of gender, gender identity, race, nationality, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, and mental or physical disability.

At SUGIMURA, we believe that diversity is a source of creativity and innovation, and key to our long-term success as a firm. We actively strive to build a diverse and inclusive workplace in which all members can flourish without fear of discrimination or harassment.

Our commitment to these principles is demonstrated through the diversity of our members. We have achieved equal gender ratio within our members and continue to hire people from all around the world. Our firm includes members with disabilities who are empowered to contribute positively to the workplace. Our members have a wide distribution of ages, and whilst we welcome younger generations, we continue hire experienced IP professionals in the later stages of their careers.

SUGIMURA recognises the need to adapt its working practices to ensure that all employers can function in a safe working environment in the COVID-19 era. We encourage our employees to work from home where possible and have introduced appropriate technical infrastructure to facilitate this.
