Intellectual Property
Our clients are looking for top intellectual property associates who have 2 to 7+ years experience in at least one of these areas: IP litigation (patent, trademark, copyright), patent prosecution, or technology transactions.
Associates who want to relocate to California will be considered, as long as they are with prestigious firms currently, even if they need to take the California bar.
