Do you want to be a Trade Mark Attorney?

We are looking for a Trainee Trade Mark Attorney to provide exceptional service and advice to a range of local and international clients, under the direct supervision of qualified and experienced colleagues.

In this fantastic opportunity you’ll learn the role and skills of a trade mark attorney, with emphasis on UK and EU trade mark law and practice and work towards qualification as a UK or EU trade mark attorney or solicitor.

You’ll work efficiently in the role of a fee earner, learning to prioritise your workload and work well with others and develop good professional relationships with clients, colleagues and global associates.

We're looking for those that will embrace the Stobbs approach, acting with the best interests of our clients at heart and with teamwork at the core of your work.

Essential skills and experience



Demonstrate an understanding of the role, either through related IP or legal studies or work, or other relevant experience.

*

A 2:1 or above in an undergraduate degree.

*

Exceptional analytical, interpersonal and communication skills

*

Be adaptable in meeting the needs of a range of clients

*

An excellent attitude and commitment to continuous learning and professional development

Firm culture is important at Stobbs - friendly, social, approachable and where we look after each other. We regularly provide our own social and professional events. We manage the rights of some fantastic clients - obviously that means our advice has to be legally sound, but it's also about it being business savvy. We have high standards but learn from our mistakes. We’re not internally competitive (well, except when it comes to sports and quizzes!). We're certainly not run with an iron fist; we want our people to bring their whole selves to work, wanting to perform well, learn from mistakes and to feel comfortable asking questions and learning, and helping us continue to improve and be the best we can be.

Our head office is north of Cambridge, with an office in central London. We are trying to strike a good balance of supporting people to work flexibly while delivering for our clients and making Stobbs an attractive place to work. Our current hybrid working policy is a minimum requirement of two days in the office, encouraging people in more if possible. We may expect you to be based in the office full-time during the first six-months. Those seeking a part-time role may also be considered.

Please do not use artificial intelligence tools to assist you to complete the application form. We may not accept applications that have been completed utilising AI tools. If you would usually use tools such as these to assist you in filling in a form, please contact us to discuss this further and understand other options.

The company

Stobbs is a niche intellectual property practice that recognises that to give the best advice on brands, you need to take a more strategic and holistic approach than pure trade mark expertise. To that end, we launched the concept of Intangible Asset Management.

We have a breadth of capability that goes far beyond the scope of any other IP firm and encompasses trade marks, designs and copyright, litigation, disputes, commercial contracts, brand intelligence, brand extension (licensing), systems, online brand enforcement, anti-counterfeiting and brand restructuring.

Formed in 2013 with 18 people, today we have over 200 professionals based in Cambridge, London, Dublin, Eindhoven, the US and Munich
