Our top 200 law firm client is looking for a new Head of IP to join them for an initial 6 month period.  

This IP/Commercial Lawyer role offers a varied, non-litigious workload across multiple sectors as the team potentially looks to specialise in certain sectors over time.

The successful lawyer will work closely with a small team: currently one solicitor, a portfolio manager, and an admin/PA. You will handle both IP advisory and commercial contract matters and the role is ideal for someone proactive who wants to get involved and help shape the direction of the practice.

Ideal skills and experience you will have:
 

• This role requires strong skills in IP advisory and commercial contract drafting, along with the ability to work across varied sectors and adapt to client needs.
• A proactive mindset, and a collaborative approach are key to contributing to a small team and shaping the practice’s future direction.

This assignment can be full time or part-time, initially working 2 days a week from their Leeds office. Office presence will reduce and is flexible.
If this sounds like you and you're looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join LOD?

People come to us for a whole range of reasons – they might be looking for time for their interests, for work alongside other projects, or just want a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can’t offer, but LOD can.

All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams. We only accept a small percentage of applications as we choose lawyers who are not only technically excellent, but who can work seamlessly with our client’s teams. This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

We can offer:

• Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
• Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.
• Training and know-how, as well as support from our dedicated HQ Team.
• A variety of flexible models that include working at the client’s offices or remotely.
