Careers

Join our very strong team, supporting both private and public sector clients.

We are always happy to receive applications from anyone who thinks they would be a good fit for the firm and has an interest in IP. We are always looking for the right talent, whether fee earner or support staff.

Our staff are key to our success as a firm and we want to make sure we look after them. We are a close knit, top rated (by both Chambers and the Legal 500) team and we undertake exciting work for clients throughout the UK and internationally.  Some key benefits of working for us include:

  • Competitive salary packages with incentive schemes
  • Funding for employees to undertake further professional development qualifications in appropriate cases.
  • Flexible working arrangements (to be discussed)
  • A generous holiday allowance including a long service holiday scheme where extra days are accrued in accordance with length of service
  • Fee earners ‘work away’ scheme 
  • Pension plan 

Training Contracts

We continue to offer training contracts and will also consider applications for ‘relevant work experience’ from candidates who are currently in the process of, or are intending to, sit the SQE examinations.

We generally offer 1 or 2 training contracts per year and invite prospective candidates to apply for a paralegal positon with a view to a training contract in the first instance. After completion of a successful period of work as a paralegal we then offer successful candidates a training contract (not for candidates sitting the SQE).

In respect of work undertaken as a paralegal, this will then be used to apply to the SRA for an appropriate time discount to the training contract. Prospective applicants should have a 2:1 or above in Law or other degree with a further qualifying provision (e.g. LPC).

To apply, simply upload your CV along with a covering letter explaining your interest and fill out the form on this page

Applicants must be able to demonstrate an interest in Intellectual Property.
