Join a market-leading Intellectual Property/Brands team in London that advises on the full brand lifecycle, from clearance and prosecution to commercialisation and enforcement. The group acts across soft-IP areas including trade marks, designs and copyright, and regularly engages with UK, EU and international IP offices.

The team values client-focused, commercially minded advisers who can manage diverse file work, work collaboratively across the business and take on leadership opportunities as they arise.

  • 2–4 years PQE in IP within private practice, with a clear focus on trade marks and designs.
  • Experience of clearance, prosecution, monitoring, portfolio management and enforcement.
  • Familiarity with UKIPO, EUIPO and WIPO procedures.
  • Strong written and interpersonal skills, excellent client care and commercial awareness.
  • Ability to manage a varied workload, work independently and collaboratively, and contribute to business development.
