Fellows and Associates (on behalf of our client, a major NZ firm), is seeking a biotechnology patent attorney to work in New Zealand.
Have you been thinking about moving positions? But the idea of doing so is, well, just not that exciting? Similar opportunities, similar work, similar life style.

The firm are particularly keen on candidates who are European, UK and/or US Patent Attorneys although other jurisdictions may be considered. Candidates should have an academic/technical background in biotechnology.
The role itself is broad and you will enjoy a mix of providing commercial IP advice to clients and well as drafting and prosecution. You will have the deftness of touch to deal with large patent portfolios with accuracy and diplomacy as well as providing assistance with contentious matters. In addition to all of this, you will be comfortable representing the firm online, at events and when meeting potential clients.
