This Intellectual Property Senior Associate role in Manchester offers a genuine opportunity to help establish and shape a growing IP practice within a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an Intellectual Property Senior Associate in Manchester looking to play a key role in the growth of an ambitious commercial team.


The Role:


  • Advise clients on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters
  • Support businesses on trade marks, copyright, licensing, assignments, brand protection and IP strategy
  • Work closely with technology, life sciences and media clients on commercially focused legal solutions
  • Collaborate with colleagues across Commercial, Corporate, Data Protection and Litigation teams
  • Assist in developing and growing the firm's Intellectual Property offering as part of a wider Commercial Services strategy
  • Mentor and support junior lawyers while contributing to the continued growth of the team
  • Identify opportunities to develop existing client relationships through internal referral networks


The Candidate:


  • Qualified Solicitor with strong experience in contentious and non-contentious Intellectual Property law
  • Currently operating at Associate or Senior Associate level
  • Experience advising clients on trade marks, copyright, licensing, IP commercialisation and brand protection
  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to provide pragmatic, business-focused advice
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • Collaborative approach with an interest in mentoring junior lawyers
  • Enthusiastic about helping to build and develop a growing Intellectual Property practice
  • Commercially minded with an interest in business development, although an existing client following is not required


The Benefits and How to Apply:


  • Competitive salary
  • Annual bonus of up to 20%
  • Excellent pension contribution of up to 13%
  • Private medical, dental and travel insurance
  • Life assurance and income protection
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Genuine work-life balance with high-quality work and realistic expectations
  • Opportunity to help shape and grow a market-leading Commercial Services team


Apply in the strictest of confidence
