Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Step into sophisticated patent infringement matters where you can take on meaningful responsibility and have a real impact on case strategy
  • Join a highly regarded boutique litigation environment with direct access to experienced trial attorneys and firm leadership
  • Build deeper, more hands-on litigation experience than you may be getting in a large-firm environment
  • Work on complex, technically challenging disputes involving cutting-edge technologies and high-stakes intellectual property issues
  • Benefit from a strong performance-driven bonus culture with significant earning upside
  • Grow your courtroom, deposition, discovery, technical analysis, and client-facing experience while working alongside accomplished litigators

Location: On-site in Dallas, Texas or Burr Ridge, Illinois. We are an in-office team that values collaboration and close interaction, while understanding that occasional work-from-home flexibility may be needed.

Note: Must have 3+ years of patent infringement litigation experience, a strong technical background such as electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or a similar field, and active bar admission in at least one U.S. state. The ideal candidate has 3 to 6 years of experience, with large-firm litigation experience strongly preferred.

About Us

Confidential Employer. We are a boutique trial and appellate law firm representing clients in sophisticated intellectual property, technology, and complex commercial disputes. Our attorneys are trusted with challenging, high-stakes matters and are given meaningful opportunities to contribute to strategy, develop substantive litigation skills, and work closely with experienced trial lawyers. Base compensation for associates in the target experience range is $200,000 to $250,000, with flexibility based on experience and strong bonus potential.

Job Description

  • Take an active role in complex patent infringement litigation from early case strategy through resolution and trial preparation
  • Research and draft pleadings, motions, briefs, discovery responses, and other substantive litigation materials
  • Analyze patent infringement, validity, claim construction, and complex technical issues
  • Participate in discovery, depositions, expert-related work, hearings, and trial preparation
  • Work directly with partners on litigation strategy, case development, and client needs
  • Collaborate with technical experts and attorneys to translate complex technologies into persuasive legal arguments
  • Manage meaningful portions of matters while continuing to expand your litigation experience and responsibility

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of patent infringement litigation experience
  • Strong technical background, ideally in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, or a related technology field
  • Active bar admission and good standing in at least one U.S. state
  • Excellent legal research, writing, analytical, and communication skills
  • Experience handling sophisticated federal litigation matters
  • Large-firm patent litigation experience strongly preferred

Why You Will Love Working Here

  • Direct exposure to experienced trial attorneys and firm leadership

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
