Set up in 2014, Vault is the antidote to traditional law firms. Vault’s core values are based on your needs, not ours. You will find our approach totally flexible - your commercial objectives are our priority, and we promise never to use sleep-inducing boilerplate letters. Every piece of advice is tailored to you whether you are a startup or a large corporate.
We may be a small business ourselves, but this provides us with flexibility and agility, making us stand out in the IP market. We match this agility with a degree of training and experience to rival our larger competitors, which is why we are trusted by our clients, who return to us time and time again.
Our professional fees are highly competitive and flexible to suit you. The tools we use - secure cloud computing and a fully paperless office - mean that our overheads are rock bottom. This doesn’t mean we compromise on quality (our deadline monitoring systems and client file storage are secure and reliable), it means we’re working smarter for you.
These tools also give you access to your portfolio 24/7. You will receive a dedicated, secure client login to enable you to monitor and download your IP portfolio whenever you want.
We aim to work with you, sharing our experience and knowledge to ensure your intellectual property is secure and protected now and for the future of your business.
