Intellectual Property Solicitor (Non-contentious)
Bristol | 2-8 PQE
An exciting opportunity for an experienced non-contentious solicitor to join a highly regarded specialist IP firm.
My client is a leading specialist intellectual property firm with an international client base and a strong reputation across the full spectrum of IP services.
The firm is looking to appoint an experienced Non-Contentious IP Solicitor to its UK team, based in the Bristol area.
This role would suit a solicitor with a strong background in non-contentious intellectual property work, combined with solid experience advising on IT, IP and commercial agreements.
The Role
You will advise a broad range of clients on complex and commercially important IP matters, working alongside experienced IP lawyers, patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys.
Your work is likely to include:
Advising on non-contentious intellectual property matters, including the protection, exploitation and commercialisation of IP rights
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating IP, IT and commercial agreements
Advising on software, technology and IP licensing arrangements
Providing strategic advice around intellectual property rights in commercial contexts
Supporting clients with IP protection and commercialisation strategies
Advising on a range of wider commercial and technology matters
Working closely with specialist IP professionals and clients on complex matters
Keeping up to date with developments in IP law and related regulation
Data protection experience would be advantageous, although not essential
What We're Looking For
The key requirement is strong non-contentious experience. This is not a role for a predominantly contentious IP solicitor looking to move into transactional work.
You should be:
A qualified solicitor with approximately 2-8 years' PQE
Experienced in non-contentious IP work
Confident advising on intellectual property rights within commercial and transactional contexts
Experienced in drafting and negotiating IT, IP and commercial agreements
Commercially minded, with strong drafting and negotiation skills
Comfortable handling complex matters and managing client relationships
Able to work collaboratively with both lawyers and technical IP specialists
Experience across IP licensing, technology agreements, software, commercial contracts or wider IT/IP matters would be particularly attractive.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Join a highly regarded specialist IP firm
Work alongside leading IP lawyers, patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys
Handle high-quality, intellectually challenging and commercially significant work
Gain exposure to UK and international clients
Work within a genuinely specialist IP environment
Excellent opportunity for continued career development
Bristol-based opportunity with an established and growing team
If you're an experienced non-contentious IP solicitor with a strong grounding in IP rights, IT and commercial agreements, this could be an excellent opportunity to take your career forward within a specialist international IP practice.
