A highly regarded law firm is seeking a mid-level to senior intellectual property litigation associate to join its established IP & Technology practice group. The role is available across several major U.S. markets and offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated patent disputes with real stakes for clients' core products.

This is a hands-on role on high-responsibility matters with direct client contact and cross-office collaboration.
