Careers within AdamsonJones
Our policy of steady expansion means that we are pleased to consider speculative applications from candidates with a good degree in a science or engineering discipline.
At present (March 2010), we have no specific vacancies, but we are always interested to hear from any candidates who may potentially strengthen our practice.
We offer good working conditions, including newly-refurbished offices in BioCity, Nottingham's healthcare and bioscience innovation centre, a competitive salary and contributory pension scheme.
The Firm
AdamsonJones was established as a single-practitioner firm in 2000, but now (March 2010) has two partners (the second of whom joined the firm as a graduate trainee in 2001), two other qualified patent attorneys (one of whom also qualified with us from scratch) and three trainees. Our support staff includes two Certified Patent Administrators, both of whom were amongst the first cohort to achieve that qualification.
Our location
Our offices are located within BioCity, Nottingham’s healthcare and bioscience innovation centre, close to the city centre.
Our practice
Our clients range from small start-ups and established private companies to multi-national corporations. The work is predominantly in patents, though we also have a small, but growing, trade mark practice, as well as a good deal of design registration work. Our work is predominantly for direct clients, but with a healthy mix of diverse incoming agency work. The practice encompasses most technical areas.
Our recruitment aims
We work as a team, and are committed to excellence in the work that we do. We look for people who share those values: high calibre individuals with a record of academic achievement, who can contribute to the continuing growth and development of the business.
Our objective is continued steady growth over the coming years. Our preference is to train new entrants to the profession and to instil our values in them. The technical backgrounds that we look for in new graduate trainees depend on the needs of the business at the relevant time.
We believe in treating people well, and when we find the right people we aim to retain them. Long term prospects for those who join the firm are therefore excellent.
Your CV and covering letter should be sent, preferably by email, to our Practice Manager, Claire Mountain (claire.mountain@adamson-jones.co.uk).
