AJ Chambers are delighted to be working with a well established commercial law firm seeking an experienced Intellectual Property Attorney / IP Counsel / Trademark Attorney to join its New York practice at Of Counsel level.

This is a strong opportunity for a 10+ year IP attorney with substantial experience across both intellectual property litigation and transactional IP work, particularly trademark litigation combined with IP support for M&A and complex corporate transactions.

The successful candidate will be comfortable moving between IP disputes, trademark litigation, IP due diligence, transactional drafting, licensing and technology agreements, providing sophisticated advice across a broad range of intellectual property matters.

This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of 3 days per week in the New York office.

• Drafting and negotiating IP provisions in acquisition agreements
• Licensing agreements

• Trademark prosecution and portfolio counseling
• Advising clients on broader IP risks and commercial issues

This is deliberately not a pure litigation or pure transactional position. The ideal candidate will be able to move comfortably between contentious and transactional IP matters and advise clients on complex, cross disciplinary intellectual property issues.

Why Consider the Role?

This is an opportunity to join a sophisticated intellectual property practice and work across high value trademark litigation, complex IP disputes, M&A transactions and broader intellectual property counseling.

The role offers meaningful autonomy, direct client exposure and the opportunity to build a broad IP practice rather than being restricted to either litigation or transactional work.

For an experienced IP attorney looking for a senior-level position combining trademark litigation, transactional IP, M&A due diligence and client counseling, this provides a broad and sophisticated platform for continued career development.
