THE ROLE

In the Intellectual Property and Technology Group, which provides the full range of IP and technology legal services. As part of a global platform, they work across industries, advising throughout the life cycle of the asset, including with large outsourcing deals, cloud contract, and licensing arrangements.

This team works closely with the corporate and private equity groups on their most complex transactions, including with respect to the evolving challenges and legal frameworks around big data, AI, IoT, life sciences, and fintech.

THE CANDIDATE

A lawyer with 1-2 pqe in the London market (or experience in a similar common law jurisdiction), although those with less or more relevant experience will be considered on their merits. You will preferably have a genuine interest and both a technical and legal background in IP and technology and must be able to independently run the IP, tech, and data protection aspects of corporate transactions, as well as be able to advise on these topics on a stand-alone basis. Experience in stand-alone tech and IP agreements is also helpful.

As IT, IP, and data protection are areas in constant growth, it is key for the new associate to keep abreast of any legal, regulatory case-law, and industry-specific developments. This will involve contributing to regular external and internal publications and attending key events on IT, IP, and data protection topics.

A generous salary and highly competitive benefits package and mentor programme are on offer to the successful candidate.
