• Conduct research on brand protection and enforcement matters.
• Collaborate with senior attorneys on federal litigation preparation and case strategy.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school.
• Active bar membership in at least one U.S. state (California preferred).
• No legal experience needed initially.
• Strong written advocacy and research skills — mock trial, moot court, or clerkship experience a plus.
• Comfortable drafting arguments, motions, or legal memoranda.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple client matters efficiently.
• Experience with USPTO procedures, the Madrid Protocol, and brand enforcement strategies.
