About us
Clearflow is about making IP operations work, so your team can focus on what matters most.
Clearflow IP Consulting was founded by Hannah Eccles, an experienced IP professional with a background in IP administration, people management, systems, and operational support. Clearflow aims to help IP teams improve the way they work through practical, real-world solutions. We support companies who need things to work better in the ever-changing world of Intellectual Property.
Clearflow was built on practical experience. Having worked closely with IP professionals at all levels, on different systems, and with complex workflows, we understand the realities behind the work; tight deadlines, evolving processes, and the constant need to balance accuracy with efficiency. This insight shapes how we approach every project.
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether we’re providing fractional paralegal support, reviewing internal processes, developing team capability, or advising IP software providers, we focus on what will make the biggest difference in your specific environment whilst acheiving your goals.
Our role is simple: to make your IP operations clearer, more effective, and easier to manage, without adding unnecessary complexity. Clearflow works as a partner, not just a provider, integrating with your team, understanding how you work, and delivering improvements that are practical, sustainable, and built around you.
Core Services
IPMS review & optimisation
Over time, systems become misaligned with workflows, data becomes inconsistent, and users develop workarounds just to get through the day. We step in to assess how your IPMS is actually functioning in practice, identify what’s holding it back, and implement improvements that make it more effective, reliable, and easier to use.
Internal Process Audit & Improvement
We review how your systems and processes actually work, then help you revitalise and streamline where needed. From identifying inefficiencies in processes and workflows to implementing practical improvements and providing training, we help bring clarity and consistency to your IP processes.
IP SaaS Consulting
Building IP software is complex, but making it work for real users is where most platforms fall short. We help IP software companies build products that actually work in practice. By aligning workflows, rules, and functionality with real-world IP administration, we bridge the gap between system design and end user reality.
Training & Mentoring
Practical, hands-on training and mentoring for IP paralegals and support teams. We build confidence, improve consistency, and develop the skills needed to manage IP work effectively. Whether you’re onboarding new team members, supporting progression, or strengthening existing capability, we provide structured, hands-on support that fits around your team.
Fractional IP Paralegal Services
Flexible, experienced IP paralegal support to keep your operations running smoothly. Whether you’re a busy IP firm or an IP owner, we step in where you need us; clearing backlogs, improving workflows, and keeping your IP records accurate, organised, and under control.
