We actively foster a friendly working culture where we create opportunities for people to connect, collaborate and belong. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusivity drives us to continually improve our culture, ensuring that everyone feels heard and welcomed.
We are looking for people who have the potential to take charge of a client relationship on behalf of the firm in the future - people who are personable and technically proficient. The quality of one's work is what truly matters, not merely the number of hours billed annually. Minimum requirements: At least a 2:1 degree in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Science, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or Biotechnology. We also welcome applications from imminent or new graduates as well as anyone completing a doctorate, undertaking postgraduate research, or working in industry.
We are a team who excel at meeting our clients' needs, proudly offering bespoke and high-quality services. Driven by continuous improvement and an unrelenting commitment to quality, we prioritise opportunities for our clients. In total, seven weeks of a new trainee's first year at Reddie & Grose are spent working through our bespoke training programme. After this, new trainees will be supported through a 13-week course leading to the Certificate in Intellectual Property Law (currently provided by Queen Mary, University of London) and a European qualifying examination preparation course.
Reddie & Grose LLP is an internationally renowned firm of European and United Kingdom Patent, Trade Mark and Design attorneys. Our attorneys handle the full range of IP rights including patents, trade marks, and registered designs. We also handle the protection of plant variety rights. Within these areas we handle drafting, filing, prosecution, opposition, enforcement, defence, and dispute resolution in general. We also advise on IP strategy and are able to offer support in due diligence and other aspects of corporate transactions handled by our law firm colleagues. Our clients range from large multinational companies and household names to SMEs, start-ups and entrepreneurs. We work with our clients at the cutting edge of technology, from innovations based on the latest research in telecoms, semiconductor devices, software and AI, through to electric vehicles, fibre optics, lasers and beyond. As a new trainee you would be working in these areas from day one. We pride ourselves on listening to our clients and offering expert and pragmatic advice and services that are tailored to our clients' needs. Avoiding a 'one size fits all' approach has allowed us to build up many valued long-lasting client relationships since our firm was founded in 1907.
We understand work-life challenges, and are sensitive to how work can impact your personal life. We respect this and will always encourage a good work-life balance. Our workplace is one where fairness, respect, equality and dignity are and are part of the firm's everyday goals and behaviour. There is a welcoming culture where we recognise that the different backgrounds, values, attitudes, skills and experience of our staff means they bring a unique perspective to work issues.
