Patent Attorneys with a background in Electronics are of particular interest however there is genuine flexibility on technical background for the right candidate so those with Chemistry, Engineering and/or Life Sciences backgrounds seeking a move in-house - please do apply.

You will be comfortable using your initiative whilst also being a strong team player. You will work closely with a Senior Attorney and the wider IP group based in alternative offices and so having strong communication skills, both written and verbally, is a must!
