You will run components of litigation, manage clients, and supervise juniors where appropriate.
Candidate
- 3-4yrs Proven IP litigation experience in a reputable firm
- Exposure to patent disputes is strongly preferred
- Ability to handle validity and infringement analysis
- Solid advisory capability across IP, but not at the expense of disputes
- Strong technical grounding. A science background materially strengthens your position
Benefits
- Direct partner access and exposure to high-end contentious work
- International platform with cross-border matters
- Structured but not over-layered team
- 60/40 WFH split with 3 days in the office (non-negotiable minimum)
