During August we will be running two insight afternoons for people interested in working in the intellectual property sector. You may be interested in working as a patent attorney, trade mark attorney or in a support function role such as a paralegal, or even in a role in HR, IT or finance etc.
The insight event will include presentations on the IP sector, talks on becoming a patent or trade mark attorney and a talk on support roles. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and network with partners, attorneys, support staff and HR.
You may have just started university or be near the end of your studies - we welcome all levels. We also welcome people working in industry and considering a career change. (The event is for people over the age of 18. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate anyone of school age.)
We have two insight events:
- 12 August 2025 - London (fully subscribed)
- 19 August 2025 - Manchester (applications closing 27 July 2025)
All events will be 12:45 - 16:30. The dress code is smart casual - we are not expecting people to wear a suit or dress if as they were coming for an interview. We will refund local travel on production of a receipt up to a value of c.£20. Please do not book travel until your space has been confirmed.
There are limited spaces for the event and spaces will therefore be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Places will be offered to those who are starting out on their journey into IP. Those who attended events last year, or have previously applied for our graduate roles will not be offered a place. Places will also not be offered to those already working in IP.
Please note that attendance does not constitute a job application for any of our roles. The normal application processes will need to be followed.
