Training Contract

Training Contract Opportunity for an Aspiring Future Trainee Solicitor 

A fantastic opportunity has arisen at a top 100 law firm that is guaranteed to start a Training Contract in 2019. 

The initial paralegal role and the training contract will be IP focussed and cover a wide variety of transactions and contentious issues including:

Intellectual Property

• Brand Protection, trade marks, design rights, copyright
• Patents
• Marketing and advertising law
• Social media law   

Technology and Internet Law

• Software-related contracts including research & development, licensing and distribution
• Website terms and conditions and all contracts relating to websites
• Domain names IT support, hosting, Cloud-related and outsourcing contracts

Data Protection and Freedom of Information

• Privacy and data protection policies (including data encryption)
• International transfers of data
• Data protection breaches 

Corporate Transactions

• All aspects of IP and IT law on M&A transactions
• Negotiation of IP & IT warranties and indemnities
•  IP & IT due diligence and reports
• Advising upon IP agreements necessary to secure ownership of IP in M&A transactions  

Applications are welcome from paralegals who can demonstrate a stellar academic record. For example this will include A's at A Level, a minimum of a 2.1 and Commendation or Distinction in the LPC. 

For this role the LPC is essential. 

Relevant electives in Commercial Law and IP would be a bonus as would any work experience in IP, GDPR or a related field. 

At least 6 months paralegal experience in any field is also required. From a city firm would be great, but also any experience gained in-house would be a benefit. Experience in litigation, corporate, commercial contracts, real estate / property and GDPR would be relevant. 

This is anticipated to be a popular role with a high number of applications, so please do ensure you attach your full CV with grades and dates and that relevant experience is clear.  Good luck!
