IP Litigation @ TOP firm here in Bristol !!

If you are currently developing your career as a specialist contentious IP lawyer, perhaps either in the City or working as part of a specialist IP team at a large regional practice, this may interest you and could be the next step and your chance to take your career to a whole new level !

The various legal directories are in no doubt that this is a team that offers comprehensive commercial and contentious IP advice to rival the leading City and international firms.

As the extra vital piece of the jigsaw joining the existing team you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with clients to deliver pragmatic, commercial advice on often complex intellectual property disputes and pre-launch clearance advice. You will have proven experience in intellectual property dispute resolution across a broad range of business sectors, particularly in any of the media, retail, sports and leisure, luxury goods and food and drink sectors.

The team has an established track record of acting in a range of successful cases and have acted for clients in the High Court, Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, UK and European trade mark offices, Company Names Tribunal, in domain name disputes and at all stages of appeals. The range and quality of the work just doesn't get any better within a private practice firm here in the UK.
