Graduate scheme

Becoming a patent or trade mark trainee is not easy but it marks the start of a career that is filled with intellectual challenge and opportunity. We are looking for people with strong technical abilities and excellent communication skills, who are ambitious and meticulous. If you are looking for a friendly working environment where you’ll be given responsibility right from the start apply for a place on our scheme.

We offer:

  • A structured programme of tuition aimed at helping you make the most of your studies
  • We pay for and support our trainees during their studies to take the Certificate in Intellectual Property Law, Queen Mary University of London or the Professional Certificate in Trade Mark Practice for the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys, Nottingham Trent University
  • An internal learning programme including workshops, seminars and lectures as well as peer assisted coaching
  • Competitive remuneration package

Once we receive an application, we will redact personal information that is not relevant to an applicant’s candidacy, including but not limited to name, address, email and telephone numbers

Vacation Scheme
We run an annual voluntary vacation scheme in July. Its aim is to provide candidates the opportunity to experience the job and gain an understanding of what it is like to work at our firm. The week long scheme includes workshops, presentations, mentoring, working on real cases and taking part in a competitive oral proceeding.

The application process is now closed for summer 2021 and will open in April for our summer 2022 scheme.
