We are seeking a capable, self-motivated, part or fully qualified patent attorney specialising in Life Sciences to help grow our team. Above all, we are looking for someone who can align with the ethos of the firm – someone who is willing to join in, work collaboratively, and become a valued member of the team. The ideal candidate will have an interest in business development and in time will be encouraged and supported to build a practice of their own.

For all candidates a strong degree in Life Sciences or a closely related discipline is a prerequisite. You will be working closely with ground-breaking, leading-edge scientific developments in many different areas. Our clients come from across the UK, Europe and the World, including the US.

The IP Asset Partnership Limited is a well-established, fast growing IP practice with an excellent client base. We are seeking two full-time, capable and self-motivated patent paralegals to join our team to help support current client work and future business growth.

The role will include the receiving and reporting of official communications, working with qualified attorneys and trainees to prepare responses to office actions and to provide instructions to overseas agents, assisting with foreign filing programmes, data entry into our records system, records management and client portfolio management. Previous record keeping and patent formalities experience is a pre-requisite for the role and you are required to hold a CIPA Patent Administrators Certificate.
