Why This Role Slaps:

  • Go head to head in major patent and trade secret battles for some of the biggest names in tech.

  • Work alongside top-tier litigators who've been dominating the directories.

  • Get hands-on experience fast, with real courtroom time, client exposure, and major-league impact.

  • Be part of a culture that values authenticity, growth, and innovation, not just prestige.

Who You Are:

  • You've got 3 to 5 years of IP litigation under your belt, preferably in patent/trade secret work.

  • You majored in computer science, electrical engineering, math, or physics (this is a must).

  • You bring strong grades, sharp thinking, and can translate complex tech into punchy arguments.

  • 401(k) and Roth options, mental health support (shout out to Calm & Talkspace), and flex time.

  • We'll cover your bar dues and at least two professional orgs.

  • You're encouraged to do pro bono work that actually matters.
