REQUIREMENTS:
Seeking a litigation associate with experience representing clients in district court cases, ITC proceedings, or arbitration involving patents or trade secrets. Other relevant experience includes work on IPRs or other post‑grant patent proceedings.

A technical background, active patent bar registration, and judicial clerkship experience (particularly at the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals) are highly valued.
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.
