We are looking for a qualified Patent Attorney (EP and UK) with a physics degree and experience of working with hi-tech clients, to join our leading IT & Engineering practice group.
You will be involved in drafting and prosecution of UK and European patent applications for a wide range of domestic and international companies, giving you a broad spectrum of interesting work. You will gain experience in a full range of direct client work, including oppositions before the EPO and contentious matters, while offering your clients strategic IP advice.
Opportunities for career development and training make up a big part of our success. At GJE, we’ll support you to develop your skills and advance your career. We have a clear career development structure which we would be more than happy to discuss in detail during the interview process. We will help you play to your strengths and develop experience in areas that interest you, which will add value to the business and help us build upon its success. You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of partners throughout the business and the opportunity to work within interdisciplinary teams.
We recognise that not everyone has the same aspirations, and even those who do may well have different routes to the end goal. So, whether you are a natural at bringing in new business, have a passion for training less experienced colleagues, or prefer the nuts and bolts of what being a patent attorney is all about, you are likely to find a place to thrive at GJE.
Our attorneys enjoy the benefits of hybrid working – whether working from home or enjoying the company of colleagues at our vibrant City of London office – where individual offices and open plan areas are available to enable team members to work in the way which suits them.
We are based at the prestigious Broadgate Tower, where the heart of the city meets Shoreditch. Not only does the tower provide fantastic offices in a great location, it is often featured in film and TV productions! We offer everyone the ability to work flexibly and would be happy to discuss this along with our benefits during the interview process.
Our success is down to the people we employ
Our firm has a clearly defined strategic vision for where we are heading and an impressive track record to match. There are around 125 of us in our city office, so we’re small and friendly enough for you to get to know everyone – but big enough to offer you great career prospects.
As well as offering a competitive salary, a wide range of benefits and excellent career development awaits you at GJE.
