IP Support are working exclusively with a growing and forward-thinking firm who are looking to appoint a Trade Mark Paralegal.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced TM paralegal who enjoys being hands-on, taking ownership, and helping shape how a department operates.
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the development of the trade mark function, working closely with fee earners and the wider firm. While this is a paralegal position, there is genuine scope to be involved in refining systems, processes, and client care standards.

* Preparing and filing UK, EU and international trade mark applications
* Handling correspondence with clients, agents, and official bodies
* Monitoring deadlines and maintaining accurate records
* Assisting with the development and implementation of internal TM systems and processes
* Supporting improvements to client care procedures and workflows
The ideal candidate
* Proven experience working as a Trade Mark Paralegal (or equivalent TM support role)
* Solid understanding of trade mark procedures and deadlines
* Confident, organised, and detail-focused
* Comfortable working autonomously and taking initiative
* Interested in helping to build and structure a department, not just maintain one
* Realistic and professional in their expectations around progression in the short term
* Have experience working in a UK-based attorney practice
* Must be UK-based and be eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship
