Overview
You are a part-qualified/finalist Patent Attorney with a specialism in Chemistry related subject matter, looking for a move to a firm that can offer greater visibility with clients, and wider scope of technology too. You should have already passed the UK Foundation examinations and be working towards qualification as an European and UK Qualified Patent Attorney. Attorneys who have recently qualified will also be seriously considered.
Responsibilities and work focus
You’re confident in handling core drafting, prosecution and contentious areas of IP, and you possess an appreciation of how IP and regulatory data protection affect the life cycle of a product. Possessing an innate interest in the commercial aspects of business as well as the IP profession enables you to forge long-standing and committed relationships with clients.
Owing to a newly acquired pharmaceutical client that is already providing significant direct drafting and prosecution work, the proposition of this role is rather unique as the successful individual would be well positioned to foster and nurture a long-term relationship leading to contentious work, and repeat instructions.
You are motivated and confident with long-term career aspirations and if you have a genuine interest in business development, marketing, and networking then this firm can provide the support and infrastructure to exceed your professional expectations. You will get involved with client pitches and be integral to the growth of the team, and be exposed to a broad range of organic chemistry and pharmaceutical subject matter with a variety of other clients too. The team protect research on ground-breaking therapeutics and their delivery, as well as exciting technologies in the fields of nanotechnology, cleantech, petrochemicals and polymer chemistry. There is plenty of scope to work and engage on a variety of subject matter.
