The team have a fantastic reputation and their clients are cutting edge across technologies such as genetics, diagnostics, medical devices, and therapeutics.

In respect to career progression, there is a great deal of support to ensure you achieve your own goals and there will be ample opportunities for partnership as your career develops.
Ideal candidates will be European and UK qualified patent attorneys (albeit European only qualified candidates would be highly regarded, for example if a candidate is relocating from another jurisdiction or from an in-house environment). Given the nature of the role it is anticipated that you will have at least a couple of years’ post qualified experience but if you feel you have the character for the role and are a qualified Patent Attorney then you will be actively considered.
Patent Attorney, Qualified, Chemistry, London
Enjoy a wide range of chemical pursuits. This firm has a really varied client group and hence can offer attorneys a wide range of technical scope and a broad sweep of legal work from drafting and prosecution to oral proceedings and oppositions. But more important than the work might be the environment; the firm is quick to encourage, push you when you need it or support you when times are tough – they raise excellent attorneys who are well-rounded legal professionals. To put it another way, the firm appreciates the importance of its entire staff irrespective of their seniority. They put considerable effort in to ensuring the people who work for them get the best possible experience and witness all that being a Patent Attorney has to offer.
There is flexibility but ideally you will be a qualified patent attorney with general chemistry background.
Patent Litigation role for a Patent Attorney (electronics/hi tech/telcos), London
Have you reached the point when you just can’t draft another patent? You simply can’t. You’re sick to the death of prosecution. Your career isn’t going anywhere fast and you can’t see yourself doing this day in day out for who knows how much longer?
What you really want to be is a lumberjack litigator. Yes, a litigator, not drafting but contesting. You might even want to cross-qualify as a solicitor (although that’s less essential). Where would you do this? I’m glad you asked. This is a position for an international law firm (that you will have heard of) working for a partner who is a leading and globally recognised IP lawyer.
Changing career doesn’t mean you will need to compromise; you’ll join at a commensurate level to where you are currently with a highly likely improvement on your compensation and benefits.
Who are you? Well, you are a qualified patent attorney ideally with some post qualified experience (but there’s flexibility). You will have a technical background in electronics, engineering, physics or related areas and ideally (but not essentially) some experience of Standard-Essential Patents.
If you have enjoyed your IP career so far but have been looking for that something just a little different, here is your chance. Opportunities like this really don’t come around very often. That’s not hyperbole I really mean it, the last position I recruited like this where a patent attorney could cross-train as a patent litigator was quite a few years ago. If you are even a little curious, give me a call let’s have a chat.
Biotechnology Patent Attorney, Manchester
High quality work from high quality clients – a portfolio that it is entirely biotechnology based and is diverse, interesting and global. A role that demands a great deal but offers considerable new experiences – consultancy, oppositions and direct client contact. A firm that appreciates your value and ensures you are amply rewarded. A firm that knows where you are heading and helps you get there. Above all, a firm that has been and is continuing to be very successful.
The firm has weathered 2020 very successfully. They were quick to implement and support remote working and were one of the first to start recruiting again. The long-term scope for the role looks to be very bright due to a significant uptick in work.
Candidates are likely to be nearly qualified, newly qualified or have a few years post qualified experience (they’re very flexible).
