Base pay range

You are a part-qualified Patent Attorney currently working in a private practice, full-service law firm or in-house department looking to make an exciting career move.

As a current Patent Attorney in training (Technical Assistant), you already possess the ability to quickly understand a broad range of Physics, Electronic Engineering, Software/AI or Computer Science related subject matter.

You should have passed your UK Foundation Examinations, and the pre-EQE, and be working towards qualification as both a UK and European Patent Attorney.

You possess an innate interest in new technology and relish the opportunity to advise inventors on a range of patent filing strategies. Naturally, you also pride yourself on your direct client management and relationship building skills, coupled with your ability to prioritise and take responsibility for your own caseloads.

You'll be joining an energetic and supportive practice team that has built up an enviable reputation for the quality of their clients across many technical disciplines; several of these clients offer direct work where your drafting, prosecution and contentious skills will be fully utilised.

This Tier 1 firm recognises their reputation is based on the quality of individuals who invest their careers with them, as well as sharing their enthusiasm and drive throughout the firm. Everything flows from their people, working cohesively within a culture where every team member is equally respected.

They’ve fostered long-term relationships with commercially astute, product-driven companies so Attorneys are encouraged to work in genuine partnership with a range of R&D and IP stakeholders.

This opportunity is uniquely well placed for a part-qualified Patent Attorney to forge a clear path for career progression, as their in-house training programme provides a fully supportive and invested environment for the successful individual to up-skill themselves in all areas of modern practice life. Applications from single qualified EPA or CPA qualified Patent Attorneys are also welcomed.

If you’re looking for a private practice appointment where you can make a genuine impact in working with product-driven clients, then please contact James Dawes on 07739 982 766 for a confidential discussion or email: [e-mail]
