This is an ideal role for a person living near West Sussex, UK to work for a dynamic company highly accomplished in their field of investigations.
The Role
The prime focus of the role is to carry out intellectual property related investigations for clients (typically major law firms and brand owners) concerning the use and infringement of trade marks, patents, copyright and designs. In addition to conducting investigations we are seeking to recruit an individual that is capable of reviewing the work of more junior investigators, ensuring that their reports meet clients’ briefs and
that they are concise, coherent and free of typographical errors. As their reports are quite frequently used in evidence it is ESSENTIAL that the applicant has excellent written skills and a meticulous eye for detail.
The Senior IP Investigator is expected to use a range of techniques to gather information, including research using databases, reviewing corporate records and conducting interviews. He or she will also be expected to supervise expert contractors based in the UK and abroad.
The Senior IP Investigator will be responsible for analysing the results of investigations and consolidating them into detailed reports to clients. The reports are expected to be comprehensive and of the highest professional standard as they may be used as evidence in court. The ability to write such reports is a key requirement.
Day to day activities will include the following:
· Writing investigation proposals for clients, including the investigative steps to be taken and the associated costs and timelines.
· Case management, including appropriate research, the commissioning and supervision of contractors with specialist skills, the management of budgets and liaising with clients.
· Supervising the work of more junior investigators, providing them with guidance concerning investigative techniques and resources and reviewing their reports prior to submission to clients.
It is envisaged that the successful candidate will spend approximately 50% of his or her time on their own casework and the other 50% supervising and checking the work of others. In time, the successful candidate may be offered responsibility for directing the operations of the business.

The ideal candidate would have:
· Experience of managing others and a demonstrable track record in investigations in a commercial environment.
