Requirements

Person Specification:
We are looking for problem solvers that are not afraid of getting stuck-in with new technologies they might not have encountered before. Attention to detail is important - the quality of your work comes first, not just the number of hours you have billed in a year.
We are also looking for people with strong communication skills. We want people who can explain complicated concepts simply and directly, people who can engage with our clients and instil them with confidence, and people who are personable as well as technically capable.
Qualifications and experience requirements:
Minimum requirements: at least a 2:1 degree or similar in Physics, Electronic or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or IT discipline (with specialisms such as Cyber Security, IT and IS, Computer Engineering, Robotics, AI, Quantum Computing, Medical Physics). We also welcome applications from those completing a doctorate, undertaking postgraduate research or working in industry.

Responsibilities

Reddie & Grose has an excellent reputation for training. As a new trainee, you will work closely with a partner of the firm who will be responsible for your day-to-day training and development. As a complement to this traditional one-to-one training, we have developed a bespoke training programme for new trainees, which is intended to bring you up to speed with the core concepts of intellectual property law, and to provide a degree of group-based practical tuition.
The training programme begins with a two-week intensive training induction introducing the basics of patent law and other intellectual property laws, such as design law and trademark law. The training induction also includes sessions dealing with important practical aspects of the job such as “how to communicate with clients”, “effective marketing”, and “the role of a trainee”. The training programme continues with weekly sessions devoted to practical training. You will work through different tasks of increasing complexity each week, and your work will be assessed by a partner or qualified attorney. Both group and individual feedback is provided as part of a group discussion. These practical training sessions ensure that all of our new trainees are exposed to the same core practical examples, providing you with the tools to develop your skills together.
In total, seven weeks of your first year at Reddie & Grose will be spent working through our bespoke training programme. After this, you will be supported through a 13-week course leading to the Certificate in Intellectual Property Law (currently provided by Queen Mary, University of London) and a European qualifying examination preparation course.
We want you to have access to the best support available, and so encourage you to take advantage of courses, lectures and social activities, provided by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys.
