Careers

We’re a fast-growing patent attorney firm, focusing on patenting in software and electronics fields, with particular expertise in AI, robotics, cybersecurity and space-based technologies. Our clients are leaders in their respective fields – including three unicorn start-ups whom we’ve represented since incorporation – with clever technology ideas that need protecting.

We’re an ambitious, forward-thinking firm and a core part of our success is our unswerving commitment to recruiting the very best people. Then we want to look after them, involve them in working for our exciting and varied client-base and help them to progress within Barnes IP.

 Whether you’re fresh out of university or an established IP expert with your own client portfolio, if you think you have what we’re looking for – and that we have what you’re looking for – we want to hear from you.
