Commercial and non-contentious IP Solicitor (4 – 6 years PQE)
APPLICATIONS OPEN UNTIL
We are looking for a mid-level non-contentious solicitor with a particular interest in intellectual property and commercial legal work to join our team.
Job title: Commercial and non-contentious IP Solicitor (4 – 6 years PQE)
Location: Manchester (hybrid and flexible)
Salary: Base salary at market rate in line with experience plus bonus scheme
Contract: Full time, permanent.
Days/Hours: Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 5:30pm with 1 hour for lunch
Start date: Jan 24
This is a unique opportunity to get involved at a crucial stage of development for a leading intellectual property focused law firm.
We are looking for a mid-level non-contentious solicitor with a particular interest in intellectual property and commercial legal work to join our team. This role will involve working within a growing non-contentious team for a range of interesting, high profile and/or fast growth clients, including working with large clients that have an ongoing need to outsource regular non-contentious work.
The role will suit someone who is able to work within a team as well as independently on mid-level matters, leading and supervising junior members of the team as required. The role may suit an individual currently working within a larger non-contentious team who has a desire to establish themselves as a key player in a fast-growing area of the Brandsmiths business.
As well as an interesting workload, you will be encouraged to develop business and to help in the growth of the team and the firm as a whole. There may also be secondment opportunities with our client base as required from time to time.
We work closely with a number of in-house legal teams, so in-house experience would be beneficial for any applicant, but is not essential.
About Us
Brandsmiths is a law firm with offices in Manchester and London providing specialist legal advice to IP rich businesses, Sports Clubs and Multi-Nationals. We pride ourselves on offering a supportive and collegiate atmosphere.
Our clients include established brands, as well as fast growth businesses. In sport, we have considerable experience advising sporting associations and football clubs including high profile individuals.
The Role
We are looking for a solicitor to take a key role in growing our non-contentious IP and commercial team. We encourage autonomy and there is room to make the role your own by getting involved in business development, client meetings and high-quality work from the start. You will progress based on merit, with a clear path to promotion for the right candidate.
You must have top class legal, technical and soft skills. You will be expected to work proactively on non-contentious matters, with appropriate supervision, and so should be able to demonstrate experience in the drafting and negotiation of contracts. You will have particular experience in contracts with intellectual property and data protection aspects, for example IP licensing, software, franchising, and data processing agreements. You will be expected to demonstrate an ability to identify relevant intellectual property rights, and ways in which businesses are able to protect, exploit and enforce them.
