Associate/Supervising Associate - Patent Litigation

Apply locations London time type Full time posted on Posted 30+ Days Ago job requisition id JR100967

Overview

Our international Intellectual Property practice totals over 70 lawyers in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We are at the forefront of Intellectual Property law and advise on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious intellectual property, including patents, brands and trade marks, designs, domain names, copyright, database rights, confidential information, privacy, merchandising and licensing.

In London, IP matters are handled by our dedicated Intellectual Property practice group. The group comprises leading patent litigators, many with technical backgrounds, that have unrivalled experience of litigating patents before national courts (including at appeal and supreme court level) and the European Patent Office in technical fields such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, telecommunications, electronics, chemicals and engineering.

We have been at the forefront of changes in patent law and practice for over 40 years, for example advising on the establishment of, and the rules governing, the Unified Patent Court in Europe. Many of our practitioners continue to lead the way by advising on parallel litigation in the UK and UPC.

Examples of specific areas of our expertise include:

  • Conducting and co-ordinating national and multi-jurisdictional patent litigation.
  • Obtaining interim injunctions.
  • Oppositions and other matters before the EPO and national patent offices.
  • Opinions on patent validity and infringement.
  • Customs detention strategies.
  • Advising on corporate transactions and funding/investments where patents constitute significant assets.

The role

We are seeking an Associate or Supervising Associate to join our leading and growing Intellectual Property group in our London office. This will provide a great opportunity to work alongside our existing patent litigation partners, all of whom are listed in the main directories as leading practitioners in their fields. We are looking for patent litigation associates with around 2-4 years’ PQE. Ideally applicants would have some background in the Life Sciences sector and there will also be opportunities to work on high-profile patent litigation and technology-focused IP litigation in other sectors.

Any applicant will need to be dynamic and motivated by the challenges of working on high quality, multi-jurisdictional and cutting edge matters.

This is a great opportunity to join a tightly-knit, collaborative international team that is committed to providing on-going support to its lawyers in their career development within the firm.
