About the role

Vanguard-IP is looking for candidates skilled in life sciences patent litigation who have a Juris Doctor (JD) degree. Candidates should demonstrate strong academic performance, excellent writing, and communication abilities. The role demands experience in drafting briefs and engaging in all phases of fact and expert discovery, with a preference for those holding technical degrees such as biology, chemistry, or pharmacology. This position emphasizes legal research skills and the ability to manage multiple projects effectively.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
