At the London Museum and the Museum of London Docklands, we connect people with the lived experience of London. People are the subject of our museum, as much as the city itself and our own exceptional staff are central to our success.

Every time a new skyscraper is built in London, or a new train line tunnelled, we discover more about Londoners’ lives throughout the ages. At our Archaeological Archive, we store a collection which includes artefacts from excavations as well as archaeologist’s records and plans for our archive.

As the people who make up the city change, so do we. The coming years will be an unprecedented time for us. We are undertaking the biggest project in the museum’s history: to build a new museum for London, in West Smithfield. There has never been a more exciting time to join the London Museum.

Like London, working here will provide you with the opportunity to come together with positive and professional people who have a wide range of skills, abilities, experiences and perspectives, all of which we celebrate.

Join the London Museum and your skills, abilities, experiences and perspectives will help us to achieve our vision to become ‘We Are London’.

Yusarn Audrey is a pioneer IP strategy and law firm in Singapore.

In 1999, when Yusarn Audrey first started, very few people in Singapore had ever heard of an IP specialist law firm. We were among the first law firms set up to serve clients in this specialised field.

In fact, we set out to do more than that, we wanted to be a law firm that created value for our clients. At that time, we had a vision of the future of business and realised that the most successful companies and organisations will be those who harness their intellectual assets, those intangible qualities that make them uniquely powerful in the marketplace and the community, and use them to achieve their mission. We saw that our role as IP professionals gave us a unique opportunity to add value: to help our clients use IP strategically for their business and mission. The development of IP in Singapore and around the world and the transformation of Singapore into a regional and global IP hub since our inception has confirmed our foresight.

From the beginning, we organised our firm and our services around this central idea: that Intellectual Property is a powerful business asset and must be managed strategically. Everything that we did for our clients must help them create, protect and harness this valuable resource – IP. Where other law firms continued to compartmentalise their services into different departments, we integrated our teams. At Yusarn Audrey, IP lawyers work with patent agents, corporate lawyers and litigation lawyers to ensure a seamless delivery of IP and legal services around the single objective – creating, protecting and realising value from our clients’ IP assets.

In addition to this, we have developed new IP strategic advisory services as tools to ensure that our clients’ IP activities support and enhance their business strategies and objectives. By helping them to begin managing their IP in alignment with their business and mission, our clients have changed the way they look at IP. No longer just an expense, they now see IP as an asset and an investment for the future growth of their organisations.

Today, Yusarn Audrey is one of the top IP law firms in Singapore. We have been consulted by companies, research institutions, universities, statutory boards, and government agencies both in Singapore and in other parts of Asia, and have helped them create new possibilities using their intellectual assets.

This is what we live for in Yusarn Audrey, and what makes us excited and passionate about our work: igniting possibilities for our clients using IP.

At FRKelly we offer a wide range of services relating to patents, trademarks, designs, copyright, and other intellectual property matters. But really, we offer a lot more than that because our passion about our work is matched only by yours.

An illustration of this is the fact that during the WWII years it was often extremely difficult and sometimes even impossible to obtain renewal instructions from abroad. In spite of this FRKelly clients were very pleasantly surprised to learn that their Trade Mark portfolios were still intact after the war because renewal fees had been paid despite the absence of instructions.

This, in essence, is the standard and quality of service that FRKelly still stands for and aspires to today. Our commitment and dedication to each and every client is our hallmark and guarantee.

Why FRKelly?
