Role overview
We are looking for a part-qualified patent attorney with a background in engineering. The role is based predominantly in our London office, but we would be willing to discuss some time being spent in our Reading or Cambridge offices.

Candidate profile
Most of our work is for direct UK, European and US clients, ranging in size from multinationals to smaller start-ups. We expect the role to entail a substantial amount of drafting work and prosecuting patent families from first UK filings through to grant in Europe and beyond. There will also be a substantial amount of direct client and inventor contact.

The subject matter would be predominantly general/mechanical/aeronautical engineering and would include construction equipment, medical devices, aircraft, energy systems, control systems and other technologies.

We offer a top-of-class training program and focus our efforts on producing well-trained patent attorneys. We send trainees to external training courses in preparation for their exams and run several in-house tutorials for each exam. The successful candidate will receive training from multiple supervisors, thereby diversifying their learning experience.


Renumeration
A competitive salary package with benefits will be offered to the successful candidate.
