We are looking for a graduate to join our dynamic Trade Mark Team as a Trainee Trade Mark attorney. We work with a wide range of clients, from international corporations with established patent portfolios to start-ups and individual entrepreneurs developing cutting-edge technology. We are proud of the high quality of service that we offer and are consistently ranked highly in both industry and professional directories.
Our office environment and ethos is designed to be collaborative, and we encourage team working and training. We invest heavily in our trainees with a view to providing a long-term future at our firm, and our in-house training scheme is recognised as one of the best in the profession. Our trainee trade mark attorneys routinely enjoy success in their professional qualifications.
REDDIE & GROSE GRADUATE SCHEME
Reddie & Grose has an excellent reputation for training. Every new trainee will work closely with the partners of the firm, who will be responsible overall for training and development as the new joiners develop their role in the teams looking after our clients. As a complement to this traditional learn by working training, we have developed a bespoke training programme for our new trainees, which is intended to bring them up to speed with some of the core concepts of intellectual property law, and also to provide a degree of communal practical tuition.
The training programme begins with a two-week intensive training induction for all new trainees, introducing the basics of trade mark law, patent law and other intellectual property rights including design protection. The training induction also includes sessions dealing with important practical aspects of the job including, but not limited to “how to communicate with clients”, “effective marketing”, and “the role of a trainee”. After an initial period of employment, trainees will be supported through the part-time course, leading to the Certificate in Intellectual Property Law* (currently provided by Queen Mary, University of London), the first stage of qualification. The Chartered Trade Mark Attorney qualification is through the part-time course at Nottingham, also known as the Trade Mark Practice, Professional Certificate and the firm has a high success rate for candidates we sponsor through this.
We want our trainees to have access to the best support they can get, so they are also encouraged to take advantage of courses and lectures provided by the Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
We are looking for people who have the potential to learn through experience and teamwork, backed by professional qualifications, to take charge of a client relationship on behalf of the firm in the future – people who are personable as well as technically capable. What’s important is the quality of someone’s work and their commercial awareness to work with clients – not just the number of hours they have billed in a year.
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
Minimum requirements: at least a 2:1 degree in your degree discipline. We welcome applications from new graduates as well as those looking for a career change.
