Job Description
IP Litigation Attorney | NYC | Elite boutique for BigLaw Attorneys | $300K–$500K DOE
Join a close-knit, elite litigation boutique comprised of former Big Law litigators handling some of the most sophisticated intellectual property disputes in the market without the bureaucracy, inefficiency, or burnout of traditional Big Law.
This is a rare opportunity for an IP litigator seeking top-tier work, direct client impact, and premium compensation, while operating within a nimble, highly collaborative team.
Why You Should Join:
- Top-of-Market Compensation ($300K - $500K DOE):
- Compensation reflects the firm's premium litigation profile and is commensurate with experience, technical sophistication, and leadership capability. Attorneys are rewarded for excellence, not hours logged.
- Elite IP Litigation Practice:
- The firm specializes in complex disputes involving patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, false advertising, and commercial contracts, regularly litigating matters at the intersection of law, technology, and business.
- Cutting-Edge Technology Exposure:
- Attorneys litigate across a wide range of advanced technologies, including computer hardware and software, wireless standards, artificial intelligence, medical devices, and chemical products, offering intellectually rigorous, high-impact work.
- Big Law Pedigree, Boutique Agility:
- Founded by former Big Law partners, the firm delivers Big Law-caliber results at a fraction of the cost, combining sophisticated legal strategy with lean execution. This model attracts publicly traded companies and innovative startups alike.
- Meaningful Responsibility & Client Access:
- Work directly with clients, experts, and senior litigators from day one. Attorneys are deeply involved in case strategy, motion practice, and courtroom advocacy - without being siloed or buried in document review.
- Hybrid Flexibility with Team Culture:
- Operate on a hybrid schedule (3 days in-office, NYC), balancing flexibility with collaboration in a firm that values teamwork, trust, and intellectual rigor.
Key Responsibilities:
- Litigate complex IP matters involving patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and related commercial claims.
- Develop and execute litigation strategy in high-stakes disputes.
- Draft and argue dispositive motions and manage expert discovery.
- Collaborate with technical experts, co-counsel, and clients on nuanced legal and factual issues.
- Participate in hearings, arbitrations, and trials as matters proceed.
Ideal Candidate:
- Strong background in IP litigation
- Experience litigating complex, technology-driven disputes
- Top 20 law school required
- Excellent legal writing, analytical, and advocacy skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-performance boutique environment
- New York bar admission (additional admissions a plus)
