Employer Profile


Our Firm
Scott & York was founded in 1977. The firm traded originally as Sommerville & Rushton and between 1990 and 2006, operated as the St Albans office of Marks & Clerk. In 2006 the practice was bought out by the St Albans partners and has been operating independently since then, with February 2009 seeing the opening of our London office. Our head office is in modern, well-equipped space in St Albans, supported by the most up-to-date infrastructure available. The office is located little more than a 20 minute train journey into St Pancras International and even closer to open Hertfordshire countryside. We pride ourselves on being a progressive, reliable and approachable firm for clients and a fulfilling and enjoyable place to work.

Our Work
With clients ranging from UK SMEs through to multi-national blue chip companies, we advise on all aspects of Intellectual Property: patents, trademarks, copyright and design. Our senior professionals are UK registered with the Intellectual Property Regulation Board and are also registered with the relevant pan-European bodies. We are a firm of both patent and/or trade mark attorneys specialising in working with all forms of IP around the world. Our attorneys are authorised to practise before the appropriate UK and European Intellectual Property Offices and courts. We also have a network of trusted attorneys serving every country in the world.

Our Trainees
It is fair to say that we are passionate about what we do and only recruit people with the same dedication and passion. We run a comprehensive in-house training programme supplemented with carefully chosen external events. We welcome applications from graduates with an interest in the commercial world and who possess excellent written and oral skills in English. Foreign language skills are also an advantage. In turn, we will give structured support and every opportunity to successful candidates to train towards qualification with a view to a long-term career at Scott & York. Members of Scott & York have acted as examiners for the professional exams and regularly support the profession as a whole by tutoring trainees from other firms, in addition to our own trainees.
