Description
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY - TRADEMARK, PROSECUTION & ENFORCEMENT | SENIOR ASSOCIATE (7+ YRS): Our client, an AmLaw100 firm with one of the nation's premier Trademark and Copyright practices, is seeking a Senior Associate to join its nationally recognized Trademark Team. This opportunity offers the chance to work on sophisticated domestic and international trademark matters for leading global brands while benefiting from a reduced billable hour requirement and a long-term, non-partnership-track career path.
The attorney will manage U.S. and international trademark portfolios, advising clients on all aspects of trademark protection and brand management. Responsibilities include conducting trademark clearance analyses, overseeing domestic and international trademark prosecution, managing investigations and routine enforcement matters, coordinating global filing strategies, and providing strategic counsel regarding the development, protection, and maintenance of valuable trademark assets. The role also involves collaborating with attorneys and foreign counsel to ensure efficient portfolio management and responsive client service across multiple jurisdictions.
Candidates should be comfortable independently managing complex trademark portfolios while maintaining strong client relationships and handling multiple matters in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate will have substantial trademark prosecution experience, exceptional legal writing, analytical, and organizational skills, and meticulous attention to detail. Experience with both U.S. and international trademark practice is strongly preferred.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced trademark attorney seeking sophisticated brand protection work, meaningful client responsibility, and long-term career growth within one of the country's leading intellectual property practices, while enjoying an alternative career track with greater flexibility than a traditional partnership-track position.
REQUIRED: J.D. from an accredited law school; active bar admission in the jurisdiction of intended practice; 7+ years of direct trademark prosecution experience; strong academic credentials; exceptional legal writing, analytical, organizational, and communication skills; and experience managing U.S. and international trademark portfolios.
