We have an exciting opportunity for a trainee trade mark attorney to join the team in our London office.

Candidates should have a good honours degree, preferably in law with an IP module. Candidates with good degrees in other academic disciplines will also be considered. A postgraduate qualification relating to IP law would be an advantage as would a working knowledge of other European languages.

On the job training and support will be given to enable the successful candidate to qualify as a registered trade mark attorney. There will be a requirement to participate in the QMW Certificate in Trade Mark Law and Practice and the Nottingham Law School Professional Certificate in Trade Mark Practice, paid for by the company, subject to a training agreement.

The successful candidate will have a logical approach, analytical ability, excellent communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to write clearly and accurately. They will join a growing team where there is scope to work for large and small clients on all aspects of trade mark and related IP matters.

We will consider applicants who have already started a career in trade marks elsewhere, but experience, though desirable, is not essential.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package and a relaxed and friendly office atmosphere
