The Intellectual Property Litigator Role
An exciting opportunity for a 1-3 year PQE solicitor to join our niche IP/IT practice to work primarily in a contentious IP role. Our client base is diverse, ranging from the very small to larger entities, including international.
The Intellectual Property Litigator will need to:
- be a first rate lawyer who is up-to-speed with case law and has a proven track record in contentious copyright, trade mark and design right matters. Some knowledge of patent and non-contentious IP matters is also desirable, as is a specialist industry knowledge;
- enjoy client contact and value each client no matter how small;
- Be an intuitive self starter who wants to actively participate in the growth of a law firm, manage their own matters and actively help trainees and junior solicitors to become better lawyers;
- enjoy working in a team and both give the very best to, and get the very best from, your colleagues;
- be excited by the prospect of getting involved in marketing the firm and developing and growing your own client base in a supportive environment
- dislike environments that stifle initiative and impose rigid structures and micromanagement
- be enthusiastic about providing legal services in a new way that is more laid back and accessible to clients, but no less professional
Waterfront is a young, dynamic and exciting firm where each individual can really make an impact. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a better work-life balance than is offered at more traditional city firms, working in an open plan office, which promotes an exceptionally collaborative and friendly environment.
We offer a competitive salary, dependent on experience, as well as access to the firm’s pension scheme, private medical insurance and season ticket loan.
