- Strong working knowledge of IP law (trademark registration nationally, at EU level, and via the Madrid Protocol, design rights, copyright).
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Commercial mindset - legal advice as a business enabler, not just protection.
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and stakeholder management abilities.
- Proficiency in Office 365, legal research, and AI tools.
SALARY: 4000 - 6000 Eur/Month GROSS.
