Intellectual Property Litigation Associate - San Francisco Bay Area
Sonder Consultants
The Firm & Opportunity
An AmLaw 10 and Vault 10 firm with an impressive global platform and national practice is seeking a mid-to-senior IP Litigation associate for its Silicon Valley office. The firm's U.S. practice continues to perform at the highest level, and its IP group sits at the center of some of the most consequential technology and life sciences disputes in the market.
This practice is a destination group — well-resourced, deeply integrated across the firm's corporate and regulatory platforms, and supported by a partner bench with genuine market depth and industry recognition. Growth here is deliberate and quality-driven.
The Practice
The IP Litigation group handles complex, high-stakes matters for leading technology and life sciences companies, including patent infringement disputes, trade secret litigation, ITC proceedings, and appellate work. Matters are sophisticated, clients are elite, and the associate experience reflects it — meaningful responsibility, real exposure, and direct engagement with some of the most active IP litigators in the country. Matters are trial focused.
Qualifications
- JD from an ABA-accredited law school; elite academic credentials
- BigLaw training with meaningful IP litigation experience
- Substantive exposure to patent, trade secret, or ITC matters, ideally in the technology or life sciences sectors
- Technical undergraduate degree strongly preferred (CS, EE, or related STEM field)
- California Bar admission or eligibility to sit for the California Bar
Why This Role
This is a chance to do top-tier IP work inside a globally integrated platform — with the deal flow, partner access, and professional culture that defines a true destination practice. The firm invests in its associates over the long term, and this group reflects that commitment.
