£120,000 - £500,000
At Synergy Personnel Services, we are proud to be working with a highly respected Top 50 UK law firm to appoint a senior Intellectual Property Partner to join their expanding commercial practice.
This is a rare and strategic opportunity for a proven IP specialist to play a key role in the firm’s long-term growth trajectory, joining a collaborative and forward-thinking environment with significant cross-practice support and an established client base.
About the Role:
As an Intellectual Property Partner, you will lead and develop a broad IP practice spanning both contentious and non-contentious matters. The firm offers flexibility around team structure and workstream focus, including:
* Trademark and Design Registration:
Full-service registration capabilities available in-house, or the option to coordinate with trusted external agents based on your preferences and client needs.
* Patent Advice:
Advising clients on the protection, exploitation, and enforcement of patents, with a strong pipeline of innovative clients across sectors including technology, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
* Brand & Reputation Management:
Strategic review and development of existing brands to ensure alignment with business goals and market positioning.
* Infringements & Disputes:
Acting swiftly to protect clients from reputational or commercial risk by identifying threats and leading enforcement actions.
What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking an established Partner or highly experienced Legal Director/Counsel with a clear business case and a proven track record in building client relationships. You’ll have:
* Expertise across trademarks, designs, patents, and brand protection.
* Experience managing both advisory and contentious matters.
* A strategic mindset, able to contribute to firmwide growth and leadership.
* The ability to bring or build a portable book of business.
* A collaborative approach aligned with a high-performance, low-ego culture.
What’s on Offer:
* A respected and well-resourced platform with a national and international client base.
* Genuine partnership-level autonomy and voice in strategic decisions.
* Transparent and competitive partner remuneration with equity potential.
* Strong cross-referral network from commercial, corporate, and dispute resolution teams.
Confidentiality is assured throughout the process. If you are considering your next move or would simply like to understand the opportunity further, we’d be delighted to speak with you.
