Winston Taylor LLP is looking for an enthusiastic, skilled, and highly qualified mid-level associate to join its intellectual property practice. Qualified applicants for this position must have at least three years of prior work experience in a biotechnology practice, along with a degree in a life sciences technology area (biochemistry, biology, chemistry, biomedical science, chemical engineering, molecular biology, pharmacy, or the like).

Candidates must possess strong research, writing, and analytic skills; the ability to manage and mentor more junior associates; strong management and organizational skills; an ability to work independently and creatively; and an ability to work successfully as part of a team. Ideal candidates will have prior work experience handling and preferably managing Hatch-Waxman, biosimilar, or competitor pharmaceutical cases in district court or before the PTAB.

Candidates must have strong academic credentials from an accredited law school. While Washington, DC is our preferred office location for this position, candidates for our other U.S. offices will be considered. All candidates must be admitted to the state bar of their preferred office location.

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.
