IP Careers Insight Afternoon

During August we will be running two insight afternoons for people interested in working in the intellectual property sector. You may be interested in working as a patent attorney, trade mark attorney or in a support function role such as a paralegal, or even in a role in HR, IT or finance etc.

The insight event will include presentations on the IP sector, talks on becoming a patent or trade mark attorney and a talk on support roles. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and network with partners, attorneys, support staff and HR.

Students interested in patents need to be studying a STEM degree. Trade mark attorneys can take from any degree, but typically, law, English or modern languages. You may have just started university or be near the end of your studies - we welcome all levels. We also welcome people working in industry and considering a career change. The event is for people over the age of 18. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate anyone of school age.

We have two insight events:

• 6 August 2026 - London
• 20 August 2026 - Manchester

Both events will be 13:00 - 16:15. The dress code is smart casual - we are not expecting people to wear a suit or dress as if they were coming for an interview. We will refund local travel on production of a receipt up to a value of c.£20. Please do not book travel until your space has been confirmed.

Please note that attendance does not constitute a job application for any of our roles. The normal application processes will need to be followed.
