Job description

You are a Part-Qualified Patent Attorney with a Biotechnology background looking for a firm that can offer a greater range of clients, better training opportunities, and a clearer career path beyond qualification. You may be currently working in an IP private practice, law firm, or in-house department, and have already passed the UK Foundation examinations. Progressive ‘Finalist’ level Attorneys aiming to qualify in 2025/26 will be seriously considered for this role.


Technical backgrounds that would be desirable include Biochemistry, Biology, and Immunology as the breadth of caseloads available from this team is especially rich and varied. They work with an impressive portfolio of clients including global pharmaceutical companies, UK incubators and start-ups, Universities, and associated spinouts offering some truly pioneering caseloads.


This Tier 1 European IP firm is committed to delivering insightful, innovative, and commercially relevant IP advice to all their clients, whilst providing a depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise that is unrivalled. Their collaborative and flexible approach to client management enables their Attorneys to be responsive and provide a high-quality, cost-effective IP service at all levels of experience.


Their working culture is wholly transparent, and unlike more traditional practices, they value the quality of legal and technical advice to clients as a higher priority than performance tables – a refreshing approach to engage and motivate Attorneys to produce their best work and advice consistently.
