Role Overview
We are looking to recruit a Qualified Trade Mark Attorney to join our award-winning Trade Mark Team, based in either our London or Nottingham office, on a fixed-term maternity contract for approximately 12 months. Our recruitment focus is on identifying candidates with the potential to grow and succeed as world-leading IP professionals. We are a fully inclusive employer and invest heavily in our EDI and wellness of the team.
About Us
We are one of the largest full-service intellectual property practices in Europe, with over 80 patent and trade mark professionals and 12 IP solicitors, who are expertly assisted by over 100 support staff working together in our Nottingham, London, Copenhagen, and Stockholm offices. We continue to act directly at the EUIPO following Brexit.
The firm is consistently ranked in the top tier of major legal guides, such as Legal 500 and MIP. We were awarded MIP’s UK Trade Mark Prosecution firm of the year for 2020 and 2021. Unlike most UK patent and trade mark firms, we also hold three independent ISO accreditations which show the high level of service provision, information security, and environmental awareness that we have.
