To join our advanced engineering group you'll most likely have studied mechanical engineering, but we also welcome applications from those who have studied materials science, aeronautical, aerospace or civil engineering.
“I studied Materials Engineering prior to joining Withers & Rogers, and I love how working within the Advanced Engineering Group here allows me to work on some of the latest innovations in this area on behalf of some of the world’s largest Engineering companies” - Alexander Harvey, Associate.
We advise clients in fields as diverse as road, rail & marine; consumer appliances; packaging; engineering materials and housing & construction.
Internationally, we advise first-tier automotive suppliers in the US and Japan, medical device manufacturers and a global home improvement products company in the US, along with other direct clients as far afield as Iceland, Malaysia and Australia.
In Europe, we advise aerospace and automotive primes, aerospace and automotive first-tier suppliers, specialist and off-highway vehicle manufacturers, a leading supplier of taps, shower and bathroom fittings, a global automotive engineering consultancy and a leading international manufacturer of packaging products. We also act for start-up companies, SMEs and a number of leading UK universities.
The group is headed by Dave Croston who is qualified to act for clients in the High Court in litigation matters as well as being a patent attorney. The group’s members have first degrees in a number of areas including Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Aeronautical and Civil Engineering.
Many of our attorneys have spent valuable time in industry. This experience includes the design and testing of vehicle braking and transmission systems, systems integration, aerospace gas turbine ancillary component design, the testing and evaluation of agricultural machinery, the non-destructive testing and evaluation of components, highway and rail infrastructure analysis, vehicle-crash worthiness evaluation, and medical device design.
