​REDDIE & GROSE GRADUATE TRAINING SCHEME

​Reddie & Grose has an excellent reputation for training. As a new trainee, you will work closely with a partner of the firm who will be responsible for your day-to-day training and development. As a complement to this traditional one-to-one training, we have developed a bespoke training programme for new trainees, which is intended to bring you up to speed with the core concepts of intellectual property law, and to provide a degree of group-based practical tuition.

The training programme begins with a two-week intensive training induction introducing the basics of patent law and other intellectual property laws, such as design law and trademark law. The training induction also includes sessions dealing with important practical aspects of the job such as “how to communicate with clients”, “effective marketing”, and “the role of a trainee”.

The training programme continues with weekly sessions devoted to practical training. You will work through different tasks of increasing complexity each week, and your work will be assessed by a partner or qualified attorney. Both group and individual feedback is provided as part of a group discussion.

These practical training sessions ensure that all of our new trainees are exposed to the same core practical examples, providing you with the tools to develop your skills together.
