If you possess a curious, enquiring mind, a strong academic background and excellent communication skills, especially in writing that’s a great start. General commercial awareness is also valuable and no prior knowledge of patent law is needed but a STEM degree is essential.
Making an application
From Autumn 2022 we will be open to applications from candidates across all our new trainee roles, these will typically commence in September 2023 but we can occasionally look at start dates outside of this. Details of our step by step process will be made available when we re-open our doors. Watch this space!
For now though, make sure the profession is for you. Look over our Gradcracker videos opposite, make sure you understand our new approach to trainee rotations here and finally take some time to look at our brochure, which contains details on the programme itself, what life is like at Mewburn Ellis and hints and tips for applying.
A new approach
We are proud to be using Rare Recruitment's Contextual Recruitment System (CRS) which allows us to consider your achievements in the context in which they were gained. We understand that not every candidate’s achievements look the same on paper – and we want to recruit the best people, from every background. So after sending through your application, we will send you a link to complete a short questionnaire (less than 5 minutes) so you can provide the context for your achievements.
