This is a role for a paralegal who wants real IP and commercial work rather than admin.
My client is an IP-led business that turns new technology into commercial opportunities, through licensing deals and new ventures. They’re looking for a Paralegal to join their in-house legal team and take on varied, hands‑on transactional work.
What you’ll be doing
- Drafting and issuing NDAs, IP assignments and other core IP agreements
- Preparing revenue share agreements
- Running IP due diligence: reviewing the contracts behind each asset, spotting issues and writing the reports that sign off each deal
- Drafting licence extensions and terminations
- Keeping records organised and secure
What they’re looking for
- Paralegal experience, ideally with a commercial or IP focus
- Strong attention to detail and the confidence to make sensible calls
- Comfortable working with databases and spreadsheets
- A law degree, LPC or equivalent would help, but isn’t essential
The team is small and reports into senior leadership, so you’ll get early responsibility and see how each deal fits together.
Salary: £30,000 plus benefits
