IP Lawyer - Consultancy Work

Our client, a ranked boutique London law firm, is looking to expand their consultancy model. The firm is currently looking to increase their Intellectual Property consultant offering.

The firm's consultant lawyers do not need to have a book of business, as they are provided with pre-qualified work directly from the firm that has already gone through the necessary verifications and AML checks. Consultant lawyers are not exclusive to the firm, and can have other work streams alongside this. Their workload will flex according to their capacity and can also be 100% remote.

Whilst candidates are not required to bring a client following, it would be beneficial if the successful candidate is happy to be involved in article writing for their website, and contribute to further IP marketing materials in order to further assist the building of the team and workflow.

Clients span an array of impressive industry sectors including professional services, media, SMEs, financial services, tech, art and culture and hospitality and leisure.

The IP team provide advice on:

• Buying, selling or investing in IP assets, or businesses with IP
• Software contracts
• Software licensing agreements
• Anti-counterfeiting
• Copyright and domain name advice
• Data protection
• Trademark registration and infringement
• Design rights
• The theft of confidential information and trade secrets
• Brand and reputation protection
• IP aspects of corporate transactions

Successful consultants can expect to receive full back-office support with the firm handling all AML checks, terms of engagement, payment on account, billing, and credit control.

Successful candidates will need to demonstrate:

• Qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales
• Upwards of 10 years' PQE in handling a full range of Intellectual Property matters
• Experience gained within notable law firms and/or In-house legal teams
• A genuine desire to work on a consultancy basis
• An openness to contribute IP related articles for the website
• An entrepreneurial mindset

The firm operates a competitive remuneration structure for their consultants which is market leading. This is a superb opportunity for experienced Intellectual Property lawyers to further their career as a consultant with a reputable firm in London.
