Patent Attorney - Engineering - UK Offices

Qualified Engineering Attorney

UK Offices | Hybrid | Permanent | Full-Time

About the Role

This is a genuine opportunity to join EIP Dynamics, our dedicated engineering group, and take on a high-calibre caseload of genuinely interesting engineering inventions.

We're looking for an additional qualified attorney — ideally NQ–3 PQE — to work for a collection of household names active in the engineering space. Whilst other firms often blend engineering with IT or other physics-related technologies, our Dynamics group is a focused, dedicated engineering team working on genuine 'oil up the arms' engineering products.

If you're passionate about engineering and love original drafting, this role is made for you. Our portfolio of direct clients offers a consistent, varied caseload — so you'll stay hands-on with the technically complex work you enjoy, while collaborating with talented colleagues across borders and teams.

What You'll Do

• Take on a consistent caseload of original drafting for a portfolio of direct clients, including household names in the engineering space
• Handle high-value, technically complex engineering patent matters end to end
• Collaborate across borders and teams as part of a focused, dedicated engineering group
• Contribute to a high-performance culture where diligence, accountability and curiosity are genuinely valued

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone diligent, accountable, curious and genuinely collaborative. You'll bring:

• Qualification as a patent attorney, ideally NQ–3 PQE (with some flexibility for the right person)
• Demonstrable original drafting skills — this is essential, and you can expect it to be tested throughout our interview process
• Consistent drafting experience over multiple years, both pre- and post-qualification
• A real interest in engineering and the kind of hands-on technology that defines our Dynamics group
• The mindset to enjoy and thrive in an unashamedly high-performance culture
• Desirable: experience working with direct clients; exposure to household-name engineering portfolios; and a genuine enthusiasm for 'oil up the arms' engineering.

Why EIP

EIP is an award-winning patent practice known for high-value, technically complex work, with around 180 people across London, Bath, Leeds, Cardiff, Stockholm, Düsseldorf and Denver. Here's what makes joining us different:

• A focused, dedicated engineering team. Our Dynamics group works purely on engineering — not a blend of disciplines — so you'll do the work you actually enjoy.
• A genuinely interesting caseload. Original drafting for household names, with consistent, varied work.
• A comprehensive benefits package, including private medical insurance.
• Balance that's built in. Flexible and hybrid working arrangements to support your wellbeing and work-life balance.
• A collaborative, forward-thinking culture where innovation, inclusion and teamwork thrive.
• An inclusive place to work. We're deeply committed to diversity and inclusion — proud supporters of the IP Inclusive initiative and signatories to the IP Inclusive Charter.
