**Job Overview**

Our IP group in London has nearly doubled in size in the last 2 years and is one of the firm's priorities for further growth, both in the UK and internationally.

As part of those growth objectives we are seeking an experienced and confident Junior - Mid IP associate, ideally with experience both in litigation and non-contentious advisory IP work, to join our London office.

**Who you will work with**

Our IP group is growing, both in the UK and internationally. It sits at the heart of and is integral to the firm's priority focus to support its clients in the digital and technology revolution.

We provide our global clients with a broad range of specialist and dedicated IP services comprising litigation, transactional, strategy and prosecution services. The London IP Group is part of our global IP practice which comprises over 100 lawyers internationally, and is mandated to grow substantially over the next few years.

We work in a dedicated IP group on global assignments often involving the firm's IP lawyers from across our international offices. In additional to standalone IP advisory, transactional and litigation matters, our IP lawyers also support other groups around the firm on IP aspects of their mandates, including our Tech/Digital group, corporate/M&A, our anti-trust teams and commercial litigators.

**What you will be responsible for**

You will be responsible for a wide variety of work in IP-rich sectors and clients including technology, life sciences and fast moving consumer goods.

Standalone IP advice on licensing, transaction structuring, infringement, clearance and prosecution strategy, and validity issues.

Current examples of work includes:

- Cases before the UK IPU and CJEU
- IP Strategy and counselling;
- High Court proceedings in the fields of trade marks and life sciences.
- Complex cross-border IP licensing across multiple sectors including life sciences, FMCG, and technology;
- Parallel imports and Patent settlements;
- Patent and trade mark freedom to operate opinions;

**Qualifications**:
**Your career experience so far**

In order to provide outstanding client service, we need to understand, anticipate and fulfil the unique needs and expectations of each client. We call this "Client Focus" and to help deliver this core part of our business strategy, we want to recruit lawyers who are not only technically excellent but who are also client focused.

We are looking for lawyers who can demonstrate a keen interest and enthusiasm to learn about our clients' business, work in teams, motivating and coaching their juniors and contributing to overall success. Lawyers who are empathetic, responsive and reliable, who are also commercial and innovative in the solutions they deliver to clients and are good at fostering relationships with clients. In short, we are looking for lawyers who are, or have the potential to be, excellent client managers.

Whilst not a requirement, we are especially interested in applicants who have taken practical post qualification IP courses such as the courses offered by Oxford University and UCL IBIL.

We are looking for lawyers who:

- can demonstrate a keen interest and enthusiasm to learn about our clients' business;
- can work in teams, sharing knowledge and motivating and coaching their juniors and contributing to overall success;
- are empathetic, responsive and reliable;
- are commercial and innovative in the solutions they deliver to clients; and
- are good at fostering relationships with clients;
**How we will support you**

From your first day with us, you will have varied opportunities to continuously grow and develop your skills and knowledge. From formal training, informal coaching and mentoring through to skills-based and technical training and on the job learning.

Our partners are approachable, have a genuine interest in you, and in your career. We operate on a non-hierarchical, collegiate and mutual respect basis.

Our goal is to nurture the talent of our firm, encourage our team to grow and broaden their expertise and experience (rather than narrow and pigeonhole their career), and transform themselves into the trusted professional advisor sought by our Clients.
