Who you are
You will be someone looking for a varied role within a close-knit team, offering autonomy and support in equal measure.

You will be comfortable with client interaction and will have an expert attention to detail.
Experience in supporting the management of international trade mark and design portfolios is essential. We are also looking for someone with strong communication, organisation and time management skills.
Given we are a small team, you must be a team player and have a broad range of experience that will allow you to hit the ground running. We are not expecting someone to have handled all areas of the role before; we can provide training where required. We just ask that you are keen to learn, develop and take on all aspects of such a varied position.
You should also have strong IT skills and a keen interest in utilising technology to create efficiencies in processes and workflows. You should also understand and value the need to deliver a top-quality service to clients.
We’re looking for someone who embodies our flockgoals. This requires an inidual with excellent interpersonal skills, who’s proactive and open-minded.
It doesn’t matter to us where you come from, what school you went to, who your parents are, who you love, what gender you identify with or which god you worship; all that matters is that you share in our belief that we are all human, we have more in common than differences and we have a shared desire to help each other be the best version of ourselves and support each other to consistently perform to the best of our abilities.

Whilst the team works remotely, we are constantly in touch, have team meetings every week and ensure that everyone feels fully supported and integrated within the business.
The team is made up of two attorneys, two paralegals and will soon be joined by a Subscription Manager. It Is a close-knit team offering the full spectrum of trade mark and design support to some of the UK's most exciting businesses and brands.
The IP team is also in the process of developing its very own brand, due to be launched in a matter of months. This will centre around the team's successful subscription model and will stand out as a challenger in this field.
You would therefore be joining us at a really exciting time.
