The Beginning for Innovation

The Beginning for Innovation®

 

Advent is an intellectual property law firm built to be different. Founded in 2010 by Ryan Grace and Kevin West, we chose a name that reflects our purpose—not our surnames. From the beginning, we’ve been committed to breaking the mold of traditional IP law firms and reimagining what innovation support can look like.

We focus exclusively on intellectual property law, providing strategic IP counsel and holistic innovation support that goes beyond protection: we help ideas thrive. We believe innovation deserves innovation. That’s why our tailored model is designed for agility, creativity, and long-term partnership, both with our clients and within our team.

At Advent, we invest in our people as much as we do in our clients.

We offer flexible schedules, cross-disciplinary growth, and a culture that values curiosity, fulfillment, and professional development. Our clients don’t just get legal counsel—they get a team of passionate professionals who are empowered to think differently, act decisively, and deliver exceptional results. That’s the Advent difference.

This culture of purpose and conviction isn’t new—it’s been part of our DNA since day one. We’ve always stood by our vision, even when it meant challenging convention. And if you know our story, you know we’ve done just that since the beginning.
