Employer Profile

With a diverse client base, from individual inventors through to start-up companies to global brands with products that are household names, Kilburn & Strode LLP is firmly established as a leading patent and trade mark firm. Legal 500 and MIP rank Kilburn & Strode as a top tier patent firm. In 2010, our trade mark team won MIP’s ‘UK Trade Mark Prosecution Firm of the Year’.

Our attorneys work across all of the scientific disciplines; from chemistry to life sciences, engineering and IT to electronics and physics.

What makes Kilburn & Strode unique?

Our approach to training
From the start, new trainees participate fully in casework and interact with our clients; they are encouraged to challenge themselves and build on their specialist fields. Trainees are fully supported throughout their training – our qualified attorneys are always on hand to answer questions and give advice; they often lecture on external courses, including the IP Certificate course at Queen Mary, so are well-used to mentoring students.

Our ethos
We combine a strong work ethic and commitment to delivering excellence to our clients with a friendly and supportive working environment, which places an emphasis on a healthy work-life balance for all staff. Central to this is our flexi-time system; which allows staff to manage their workload and personal commitments, as well as generous holiday/flexi leave entitlements.

Our people
We provide a friendly, sociable environment; the atmosphere is relaxed and the people are approachable and willing to lend a hand.

Our proposition
We offer graduates the opportunity to develop into excellent attorneys; the path to qualification is rigorous, requiring a high level of commitment. We are dedicated to training and committed to ensuring that our trainees realise their full potential.

In addition to providing top class training and continuing professional development, we offer competitive salaries, a contributory pension scheme, life assurance and other benefits to successful candidates.
