Carmen Sanchez
IA Trainee

Carmen joined Stobbs in 2019 as an IA Paralegal, gained her CITMA Paralegal qualification, and then in 2023 she transitioned into being an IA Trainee. She is now training towards qualifying as a trade mark attorney, alongside managing and coordinating the IP Accelerator Team at Stobbs.   

She assists entrepreneurs and SMEs with clearing and protecting their trade marks, helping to establish a smooth process across a number of jurisdictions. She also educates her clients about all aspects of IP to show them the importance of their most valuable asset.  

Carmen’s background is quite varied, and some of the roles that she has had in the past – Community Manager and Administrator in a state agent firm in Spain, Staff Trainer in hospitality, Accounts Assistant, and Personal Assistant in the IP industry, amongst others – have helped her develop a high attention to detail and excellent customer service skills. Carmen discovered the IP world by chance and so now she is happy that she gets to work in a field that she loves every day.

Outside of work, Carmen enjoys spending time with her family and friends, seeing fun musicals (which she enjoys like a child!), and discovering the local gastronomy of each of the places she visits.
