Trade Mark Paralegal / Administrator

at  Stobbs

IT’S AN EXCITING TIME TO JOIN US!

We are looking for a Trade Mark Paralegal to provide exceptional service with your team to a range of local and international clients.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for candidates with experience of UK and EU trade mark formalities, ideally in similar roles for 1-3 years.

• A 2:1 or above in an undergraduate degree.
• Be adaptable in meeting the needs of a range of clients
• An excellent attitude – Stobbs is a team and our culture of support and care is central to the firm;
• Accountability - you will take responsibility for ensuring your work is carried out with care, thoroughness and accurate attention to detail;
• Commitment to continuous learning and professional development;

Firm culture is important at Stobbs - friendly, social, approachable and where we look after each other. We regularly provide our own social and professional events. We manage the rights of some fantastic clients - obviously that means our advice has to be legally sound, but it’s also about it being business savvy. We have high standards but learn from our mistakes. We’re not internally competitive (well, except when it comes to sports and quizzes!). We’re certainly not run with an iron fist; we want our people to bring their whole selves to work, wanting to perform well, learn from mistakes and to feel comfortable asking questions and learning, and helping us continue to improve and be the best we can be.
Our head office is north of Cambridge, with an office in central London. We are trying to strike a good balance of supporting people to work flexibly while delivering for our clients and making Stobbs an attractive place to work. Our current hybrid working policy is a minimum requirement of two days in the office, encouraging people in more if possible. We may expect you to be based in the office full-time during the first six-months. Those seeking a part-time role may also be considered.

FURTHER KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Preparing cost estimates for trade mark filing and administrative change programme
• Filing trade mark and design applications
• Drafting specifications of goods / services for trade mark filings
• Assisting with transfer, records and due diligence programmes
• Standard reporting of trade mark official documents, filing receipts, publication notices, registration certificates
