You went to law school to be a lawyer, and at our firm we treat you like one.  From the outset, you will have the opportunity to take on partner-level responsibilities - from being introduced to clients and managing the client relationships to taking ownership of matters from end-to-end. Tasks will include talking to inventors and clients, drafting patent applications, performing patent searches, drafting opinions, and responding to office actions. You will perform substantive and critical work and have many learning opportunities to rapidly upskill.

We care about performing the best quality work, and you will receive training from us in the most cutting-edge legal techniques in patent law, the latest technologies (like AI and the latest developments in biotech), and business development. Our clients are primarily startups, and you will have the opportunity to work with and develop a relationship with exciting new, early-stage companies that are at the forefront of technology. There are no billable hours because we care about the quality of the work product, not how long it took to create it.

You will also work with the latest technological tools that make legal practice easier and less repetitive for lawyers, and you will have the opportunity to provide input to our development team on tools they can build to make your legal practice easier.
