Contentious IP Associate/ Senior Associate/ Barrister 2 – 4 & 5 years’ PQE/Call LONDON
Overview
Law firm in London is seeking to recruit two contentious IP Solicitors/ Barristers – one is for the position of Associate of 2 to 4 years’ PQE/Call and the other, Senior Associate of 5 or more years’ PQE/Call. The team has a wealth of experience in advising knowledge-based and technology-rich businesses across numerous industries, including pharma, biotechnology, chemicals, medical devices and equipment, automotive, telecoms, electronics and software. They also have an excellent reputation for patent licensing and establishing R&D collaborations and joint ventures in relation to a range of patented technologies and regulatory environments, as well as for resolving contractual disputes involving such commercial relationships. The work for both roles will be contentious; though for the right candidate there may be opportunities to handle non-contentious Patent matters too. The contentious work consists of High Court patent litigation and advising clients pre-action, plus potentially assisting with coordinated multi-jurisdictional disputes. The Patents Group has acted on a number of landmark patents cases and there will be an opportunity to be closely involved in such work. Typically, patent litigation work is in the life sciences, electronics/ telecoms and mechanical/ engineering. Any potential non-contentious work would consist of drafting agreements (such as licences, research and development agreements, and distribution agreements), regulatory advice, due diligence and corporate support in the context of M&A and other transactions.
