Electrical IP Litigation Associate – AmLaw Firm

Multiple U.S. Offices | Bar Admission Required | Mid-Level Associate

A top-ranked AmLaw firm is seeking Intellectual Property Litigation Associates with a strong technical background in electrical engineering, computer science, or physics (especially with semiconductor or telecom experience). This is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative, nationally recognized IP practice with a strong presence in PTAB litigation.

What We’re Looking For

(This section outlines the qualifications and background required.)

Technical Expertise

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics (with relevant tech experience).
• Experience in telecom (4G/5G) or semiconductors is highly preferred.
• Candidates with mechanical engineering backgrounds may be considered if they have substantial exposure to electrical or telecom technologies.

Legal Experience

• 2–4 years of IP litigation experience, ideally with exposure to PTAB proceedings (IPRs, PGRs).
• Litigation focused: Some prosecution experience is acceptable, especially from prior patent agent roles, but this is not a prosecution-focused position.
• Candidates seeking to return to full-time prosecution work are not a fit.

Bar Admission & Location

• Must be admitted to practice in CA, MA, DC, VA, or GA.
• Open to candidates in any of the firm’s domestic offices: Atlanta, Boston, Palo Alto, Reston (VA), or Washington, DC.
• Hybrid schedule: in-office Tuesday–Thursday, with flexibility.
• Strong academic credentials from any law school.
• Stable work history; candidates with multiple short stints must have a clear rationale.
• Currently employed or with a valid reason for a gap.
• Open to market compensation or willing to discuss adjustments.

Why Join This Team?

• Highly ranked firm.
• Early deposition experience and hands-on litigation exposure— even for junior associates.
• New AI-focused IP practice.
• Highly regarded pro bono program (100 hours billable credit).
• Flexible billing tracks available (e.g., 60% or 80% load with extended partnership path).

Pay depends on experience. Ignore the range.
