Emma Kakoschke, Trainee Attorney
I am a trainee attorney within the Biotechnology Team of FB Rice. Taking up the position was a big career change for me but one that I have not regretted. After completing my PhD in Biochemistry in Scotland, I moved to Australia and worked for a few years as a postdoctoral research scientist in the Biochemistry Department of Monash University. Having heard good things about FB Rice and their strong expertise in the biotech area, I decided to apply for and subsequently took up my current position.
The firm has been very supportive in helping me towards registration as a patent attorney, including providing excellent on-the-job training, funding the courses required for registration and giving me paid study leave. The firm has a healthy attitude towards employees striking a good balance between our professional and personal lives and is also very sociable and friendly making it a great place to work. |
