We are one of the fastest-growing and most innovative of all IP firms, with an award-winning working environment. Our open, friendly and yet commercial approach has attracted an enviable mix of clients from around the world, and the continual growth of our business has led to a job opportunity for a trainee patent attorney in the computer sciences, software, telecommunications and financial technologies team.

The successful candidate will have a good academic background in software / computer science or a physical science with a particular interest in or experience in software, financial technologies and/or telecommunications; they will be able to demonstrate a good understanding of how technology works in their fields of interest. Nonetheless, a natural aptitude of basic engineering principles from other technical fields is also important for this position. An advanced degree, such as a PhD in a relevant technology would be an advantage but is not essential.

Candidates should be comfortable with the responsibility of interacting with clients directly as well as being confident enough to foster new business relationships.

If you join us, you will be welcomed into a modern, forward-thinking firm where a culture of hard work and enjoyment go hand in hand. Your contributions and ideas will be rewarded and your personality will be celebrated. You will get to work with different teams who will support you as you pick up valuable experiences on route to qualification.
