An established trademark and advertising practice at a leading firm seeks an associate to work the full arc of brand protection and marketing matters for innovative clients ranging from emerging technology and life-sciences startups to public companies. The role covers clearing and prosecuting trademarks, bringing and defending oppositions, and enforcing rights through demand letters, domain disputes, takedowns, and federal litigation where warranted.

On the advertising side, you will advise on marketing claims, challenge competitor messaging, and help clients defend their content. Because clients are globally ambitious from the outset, you will help shape cross-border strategies to build, police, and protect brands.

Some matters will lack clear precedent. You will counsel on AI-generated voices and likenesses, virtual worlds, influencer marketing, and other technologies that predate the rules governing them, often before disputes reach a courtroom. The position offers genuine ownership of enforcement and contentious work.

2–5 years of experience in trademark, copyright, advertising, and internet liability matters
Superior academic credentials and sharp legal writing
Clear and effective verbal communication
Creative, practical problem-solving ability
Strong interpersonal skills to earn client and colleague trust quickly
