Mathys & Squire is a leading firm of patent and trade mark attorneys, advising clients on every aspect of intellectual property (IP). We combine deep technical knowledge, specialist legal expertise, and commercial awareness to strengthen and secure what most modern businesses today treat as one of their most valuable strategic assets. Founded in 1910, we have over 115 years of experience in the protection and commercialisation of IP rights, which we combine with our forward-thinking approach and progressive culture.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking to recruit the brightest and best graduates with backgrounds in engineering or science. A natural curiosity about how things work, an analytical mindset, and excellent communication skills are essential. Our work is about delivering real value to clients, so we also look for individuals who understand the commercial significance of intellectual property.

Your Career With Us

Our clients range from global household names to exciting start-ups developing cutting-edge technologies. Our annual early careers intake ensures that trainees can learn from those further along in their careers whilst also benefiting from the support of a strong peer group.

We are proud of our friendly and informal working environment. We believe that success comes from balancing hard work with enjoyment, and our active social committee organises a wide range of events – from yoga and quizzes to more glamorous occasions.

Training And Support

We have an excellent track record of supporting trainees through their professional exams. In addition to external courses, we offer in-house tutorials and ongoing mentoring. All of our trainees work under the direct supervision of a Partner or Associate, having exposure to clients from the very earliest stage of their career, and taking more personal responsibility for clients and their cases as they develop.

Long-Term Progression

We recruit with the future in mind. Our goal is to nurture the next generation of partners at Mathys & Squire, and we provide a clear and visible career development framework. In short, we offer a stimulating, supportive environment and the opportunity for a rewarding, long-term career.
