Employer Profile


About the firm
We are a firm of patent and trade mark attorneys and certified patent, trade mark and design litigators. We were founded in 1937 in London and have built one of the largest and most successful intellectual property practices in the United Kingdom. We have offices in Bristol, Farnham, London and Munich.

We represent clients from all parts of the globe, whose interests span a wide range of industries, including: fast-moving consumer goods, IT, telecoms, financial services, electronics, materials, manufacturing, life sciences, medtech, pharmaceuticals, media and aviation.

We have built a reputation for honesty, clarity, creativity and tenacity in the pursuit of our clients’ commercial goals. We achieve them through the highly focused protection, defence and enforcement of patent, design and trademark rights in the UK and internationally.

The firm has extensive experience of representing clients at the European Patent Office, not only for the filing and prosecuting of patent applications but also in opposition and appeal proceedings for both domestic and overseas clients.

Our standards are demanding, but we offer the right candidate stimulating work, exposure to cutting-edge technology, excellent professional development, early responsibility and a supportive atmosphere.

Graduate applications
Candidates should have a relevant degree with at least upper second-class honours. They must be able to write in clear and concise English. A PhD would be an advantage. Candidates should have the commitment and drive to deliver excellent client service, whilst studying for and passing professional examinations.

New graduates will initially be based in our London office, but may have the option to move to our Bristol or Farnham offices. Additionally, for candidates with good German, a placement in our Munich office may also be possible.

All necessary training will be provided to lead to full qualification as a chartered patent attorney and European patent attorney.
