Employer Profile

Gill Jennings & Every LLP is a top ranked European patent and trade mark attorney firm that helps companies around the world protect and unlock the value of brands and innovation.

With a vital mix of professional expertise and extensive technical knowledge, our attorneys are committed to providing an excellent level of service to clients. We pride ourselves on our ability to understand the commercial goals of our clients and develop IP strategies to help achieve these goals. For this reason, we look for much more in future trainees than academic success; as important is the ability to think creatively, to ask questions and to develop and articulate solutions.

Each trainee works in one of two specialist departments (IT & Engineering and Life Sciences) where they gain experience from working closely with a number of Partners and attorneys. Our aim is to provide each trainee with broad-ranging experience and we do this by ensuring trainees work with a variety of businesses which require different patent services and service levels; these include multi-nationals, university spin-out companies and venture capital funded start-ups.

Training to be a patent attorney is not an easy option; it requires considerable intellect, hard work and dedication. The exams are tough, but we are there to provide support and guidance. The first qualification that our trainees study for is the Postgraduate Certificate in Intellectual Property. After gaining more work experience they then study to qualify as both a European patent attorney and a British patent attorney. We offer a range of in house and external lectures, seminars and tutorials to compliment private study and, of course, close support, coaching and mentoring to provide the best start possible to what we hope will be a long and successful career in IP.
