We are looking for Qualified Patent Attorneys who are capable of handling matters concerning pharmaceutical and agrochemical patents, including drug discovery and development, and further medical use and dosage regimen protection.

We are ideally looking to hire this position in Leeds or London but welcome applications from those closer to other EIP offices.

• Ability to express complex ideas clearly and concisely, and the ability to structure a precise and coherent argument
• Ability to deal with a variety of people at different levels
• Ability to balance knowledge of intellectual property law against commercial requirements

• Excellent research and presentation skills
• Meticulous attention to detail, and an analytical mind
• Initiative and the ability to act independently and manage own workload
