Job Description

Engineering Patent Attorneys, Brighton

Leading patent and trade mark practice Dehns is offering a fantastic opportunity to explore another side of the IP world, with a regular secondment to a well-known global name. The role holds significant responsibility and the opportunity to direct the future of their patent strategy. You will work closely alongside the inhouse IP team, as well as other secondees and outside counsel, tackling a varied and ever-changing case load:

• Brainstorming with R&D on IP identification and potential patentable avenues.
• Providing legal guidance during the early stages of the patent process.
• Instructing outside counsel on all prosecution and working with the inhouse competitor intelligence team on potential contentious issues.
• Working as the point of contact between all internal development departments, and leading sessions on areas for further expansion.

The role will require candidates to have the confidence to lead from the front, as well as being able to maintain excellent relationships with members of the team at different levels and skill areas. Ideally, you will have at least 2 years’ experience and have an engineering background.

This is a chance to have the best of both worlds, gaining experience in areas you might not necessarily have access to in a traditional firm setting, as well as having the opportunity to work with other technologies whilst not on secondment.

Dehns has a friendly and down to earth culture, and can offer a flexible working policy to suit most circumstances.  The firm helps their attorneys succeed in part by encouraging an open dialogue such that novel ideas are promoted and areas for improvement are actioned.
