The Role
We are seeking an IP lawyer with at least 2 years relevant experience to join our well-established IP practice.
You will bring solid foundational experience in both advisory and contentious IP matters, coupled with excellent analytical, research, and communication skills. Collaboration is central to how we work, so the ability to thrive in a team environment is essential.
We value lawyers who set high standards for themselves—demonstrating exceptional client service, attention to detail, efficiency, initiative, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Clear and effective communication, both with clients and colleagues, is fundamental to success in this role.
If you have a passion for intellectual property, proven experience in the field, and the ability to translate complex issues into clear and practical advice (without the legal jargon), we'd love to hear from you. And if you believe great work doesn't need to be tied to time sheets, you'll feel right at home here.
