We are looking for highly motivated individuals with exceptional communication skills to join our close-knit team. You will need a strong academic background in electronics, computer science, engineering, physics, materials science, or chemistry. You will also need a collaborative and enthusiastic approach to work.

All of our partners and associates are involved in training, and from day one, you will be working on a wide range of IP matters directly with our clients. As our practice is focused on providing patent advice to predominantly UK and European technology companies, you can expect to quickly gain experience in all areas of the patent profession, including patent drafting and prosecution, as well as advice relating to patent procurement and exploitation.

We take an active interest in our trainees’ progress towards qualification as European and UK chartered patent attorneys. The breadth of the firm’s work means your day-to-day training will be directly relevant to the professional exams you will need to undertake. We also provide in-house exam-specific tutorials and encourage our trainees to attend external lectures and courses.
