AA Thornton IP LLP, Trainee Patent Attorney – Organic Chemistry

Highly-rated intellectual property law firm AA Thornton IP LLP has an exciting opportunity for a graduate or part-qualified trainee, to train within our team of talented patent attorneys for a career as a UK Chartered and European Patent Attorney, handling chemical inventions and specialising in organic chemistry.

The appointment of a new trainee patent attorney is part of our ongoing commitment to training and developing talent within the firm. It is a unique opportunity for the right candidate to reap the benefits of working and learning in a friendly and supportive and stimulating environment with like-minded individuals.

You will have exposure to a broad range of clients who are pushing the boundaries of patentability and to work in collaboration with our talented team of attorneys and solicitors across the firm.

What are we looking for?

Our ideal candidate will have at least a first university degree in chemistry or a related subject and will have a good level of knowledge and interest in organic chemistry and pharmaceuticals.

  • An ability to analyse and accurately summarise technical documents

  • The ability to work independently (including remotely) as well as part of a team
  • An appetite for working hard and being an integral part of a highly-qualified team
  • Well organised and reliable
  • A commitment to professional and career development
  • An interest in supporting the firms’ business development activities

It is our aim to create the very best solutions for our clients’ and, in order to deliver a focussed client service, it is important that the individuals we employ are pro-active in contributing ideas, creating solutions and seeing them through.

What are we offering?

Trainees receive a broad range of work, which encompasses a variety of technical areas and clients, providing a challenging and intellectually-stimulating career. The firm actively encourages trainees to take advantage of our in-house training and external courses and lectures, and trainees are supported to qualify as both a Chartered UK Patent Attorney and European Patent Attorney.

At AA Thornton it is our people who make the difference , and therefore we take a person-centred approach to ensure that our trainees are fully supported, and their individual needs are taken into consideration. To facilitate this, trainees are assigned to a qualified Patent Attorney, who supervises all aspects of training and provides wider support, guidance and a point of contact. We also work hard to ensure our internal communication and our wellbeing and inclusion strategies are a business priority and underpin our belief that everyone should be able to bring their whole self to work. We are committed to recruiting the very best talent from a diverse pool, providing training and putting in place appropriate adjustments, to nurture that talent. We offer flexible working and have a truly agile workforce post pandemic. It is an exciting time to join the firm.

Please apply by email with your CV and a covering letter explaining your suitability for the role by the closing date of Friday, 3 rd May 2024 (we reserve the right to bring forward the closing date).

Please note this role is not sponsored and we are unable to accept applications from candidate who require sponsorship now or in the future to legally work in the UK.

Please mention IP Careers when applying to AA Thornton IP LLP.
