    Default job background
    Description
    Our Patent Litigation team have an opening for a mid level associate in London.

    Overview of the team

    Our international patent litigation team takes a practical approach to helping clients defend their businesses and enforce their rights. We help our clients find commercial solutions, if possible, but we're ready to litigate whenever and wherever necessary.

    We have a wealth of experience in cross-border IP litigation, especially focusing on patents (with a light dusting of trade secrets and a sprinkle of SPCs). We act on some of the most high-profile pharmaceutical and technology cases and have well respected patent litigation teams in the main European jurisdictions and a growing UPC practice including from London.

    On international litigation involving other firms, we often devise and co-ordinate global case strategy, as well as acting as local advisers.

    Role summary/purpose of job

    The London patent litigation team has an opening for a mid-level associate to work primarily on patent litigation matters.

    The team, led by partners Christopher Stothers and Laura Whiting, looks to expand by hiring a lawyer with proven experience in patent litigation to complement the existing group. An ability to hit the ground running is a must

    Our daily diet of work includes litigation in the English courts, opposition and appeal proceedings at the European Patent Office, and the co-ordination of multi-jurisdictional litigation. Our main clients sit across the pharmaceutical,

    biotechnology, medical device and technology spaces.

    Key responsibilities and deliverables

    The successful candidate will work under one of the two Partners (plus, on more substantial matters, a Senior Associate) on the full range of IP litigation tasks, primarily focusing on patent litigation. Typical tasks include but are not limited to:

    Professional qualifications

  • A top-class academic record
  • A strong technical and commercial background
  • Demonstrable experience of team working and mentoring junior associates
  • Good communication skills
  • A desire to progress a career in patent litigation

    • A scientific background may be advantageous but is not a requirement. However, the successful candidate must be enthusiastic and able to learn quickly about new, often unfamiliar, technologies.
