In-house legal assistant.

I enjoyed studying IP at university, but was most attracted to trade marks as it is a rewarding job. You often see the process of a trade mark filing from start to finish and come across some very interesting brands! The clientele can be a small start-up business or a large-scale internationally developed company and I very much enjoy the variation.  

I joined Potter Clarkson in 2016 after completing my Legal Practice Course. I wanted to apply and practice my legal knowledge in a fast-paced and forward-thinking firm that offers full service intellectual property practices. 

I work in trade marks and like the idea of protecting and rewarding innovation. Intellectual Property is a niche industry but most certainly integral to all businesses.  

I enjoy the varied nature of the work. In a typical working day, you may be dealing with cases relating to food and drink, vehicles, pharmaceuticals or cosmetics. 

With innovation being the forefront of the business, my advice would be to be prepared to enter a fast-paced and evolving industry, where two days are rarely the same.
