Keen on getting exposure to some of the most senior lawyers in the tech industry?

Support us in reaching out and engaging with some of the most interesting thought leaders in tech and innovation law.

The type of business development, marketing and communications professionals we are looking for are self-starters, who are well organized and eager to make a difference to the world of innovation and enjoy lateral thinking. Finding pleasure in preparing stimulating events, promoting the Company through various digital and offline marketing strategies and good writing capabilities would be very desirable.

Since you will be working in the area of Intellectual property/competition law and economics, it is highly encouraged to have some experience or at least proven interest in IP law; particularly in the ICT space. We would find it a real help if you had some knowledge of intellectual property/competition law and economics.

OxFirst was founded over twelve years ago by academics at Oxford University and the aim of our think tank is to provide economic assessments to high-technology firms, public policy makers and international organizations. Our studies, conferences and events have served as baseline of key decisions on technology and innovation law & strategy in the World Bank, UNDP, the UK Government, but also in firms like Intel or Google. Our flagship conference is the IP & Competition Forum, which attracts senior policy makers, judges, in house counsel and top tier law firms from around the world.
