International IP services network with six member firms across 26 jurisdictions
IPH is a publicly listed IP services group operating six law firms and an automated trademark platform across Asia-Pacific, Canada, and beyond. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (Dynamics 365, SAP SuccessFactors, iManage, Power Platform) with SQL and cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS), reflecting a professional services firm scaling operations across distributed geographies. Active hiring leans legal (13 roles) over engineering (5), with near-equal focus on mid and senior levels—typical of a multi-firm network consolidating systems and governance rather than building new products.
