European Patent Attorney – Chemistry/Pharma
Hoffmann Eitle is one of Europe’s most respected and long‑established intellectual property firms, with a strong and deeply rooted presence in Italy. The Milan office reflects the firm’s hallmark qualities: a friendly, open‑door culture, well‑structured teams and highly experienced attorneys who create a genuinely collaborative and supportive environment. Although part of a major European partnership, the atmosphere in Milan remains personal and grounded, with colleagues who value teamwork, trust and shared success.
As the Milan practice continues to grow, this is an opportunity to join a close‑knit Chemistry/Pharma team working almost exclusively with direct clients. You will be part of a mature and stable office located in the business district above Stazione Garibaldi, benefiting from regular collaboration with colleagues in Munich and across Europe. This is a role where your contribution will be visible, your expertise recognised, and your development supported by senior attorneys who remain closely involved in the team’s activities.
This is an opportunity to:
- Join a top-tier European IP firm with a long-standing reputation for technical depth, quality and international reach.
- Step into a collaborative, non-hierarchical environment where independence, responsibility and direct client ownership are encouraged from the outset.
- Contribute to the continued growth of the Italian practice, helping to expand the client base and strengthen a portfolio built on loyalty, trust and high-quality work.
This opportunity is open to part-qualified or recently qualified European Patent Attorneys with a strong academic background in Chemistry and/or Pharmaceuticals. You will bring solid experience across drafting, prosecution and patentability advice, together with strong English drafting skills and confidence working with international clients. Hoffmann Eitle is seeking someone who values teamwork, communicates clearly across jurisdictions and is motivated by both professional excellence and long-term career development.
This is a chance to join a firm that combines technical strength with a genuinely caring, collegial culture — a place where you can make a meaningful impact and build a career with real potential. Apply today to find out more.
