Scintilla was founded in 2013 by Peter McBride and has since grown to a team of 13 with offices in Glasgow and Manchester.

We have a mission to put innovative businesses in control of their destiny by organising, optimising and monetising their intellectual property.

We work directly with clients to file patents, trade marks and registered designs but also provide wider strategic consultancy on how to manage innovation, prepare for investment and build value.

Our clients include a mix of large corporates, startups, spin outs in a wide range of sectors, and we are deeply invested in business and career development and supporting the local technology ecosystem, through local business incubators and trade organisations.

Through our multi-disciplined, diverse team of attorneys, trainees and support staff, we are able to support our clients with clear, consistent communication, throughout their journey with our services. Our attorneys endeavour to keep our clients in the loop, clarifying legal jargon and ensuring prompt official communications.
