We can offer you the opportunity to work on high-value, high-profile and technically fascinating IP disputes, in a firm that prides itself on its informal, supportive, and stimulating atmosphere where everyone’s individuality is respected and valued.
You will be involved in the most complex and commercially critical patent disputes in the UK courts, frequently working on pan-European patent disputes together with the best IP litigators across Europe, including in the new Unified Patent Court.
"My practice is split between patents and soft IP, which means there is a lot of law to keep on top of, but it gives my working day great variety. "
"No two days are ever the same, which keeps the job interesting..."
"Spending my workday grappling with cutting edge technologies is a dream! The breadth of technologies that I have the opportunity to work on is also fantastic."
"...Being involved in creating a firm with people you trust and admire professionally and personally has been an exceptionally rewarding experience."
"...I was keen to remain exposed to the forefront of scientific developments, and after some thought and exploration, thought that working in IP law would be a great way to do this."
"Being able swiftly to pull together the technical and legal aspects of a case is definitely a sign of an experienced member of the team!"
"...I’m a very social person and enjoy working day-to-day in teams with exceptionally talented people. While self-employed barristers are obviously still a part of the litigation team, their day-to-day can be more isolated. Paid holiday, sick pay and shared parental leave are also a plus!"
