IP Litigation Associate Attorney | Seattle WA | Am Law 100

Watts & Associates Recruitment

Watts & Associates is working discreetly with a highly regarded Am Law 100 law firm seeking a 3rd to 6th year IP Litigation Associate Attorney to join its Seattle, WA office on an in office basis.

This opportunity is focused on sophisticated intellectual property disputes, with an emphasis on patent and trade secret litigation for clients in innovation driven industries including technology and life sciences.

The firm offers a collaborative, team oriented platform with strong mentoring and clear expectations around development and progression. Associates can expect hands on training, high quality supervision, and exposure to complex matters supported by well resourced litigation teams.

The Opportunity

You will support and lead key workstreams across active matters, including legal research and analysis, drafting pleadings and motions, managing discovery, coordinating with technical experts, and contributing to strategy and client communication. Prior courtroom exposure is valued, but the role is suitable for associates looking to deepen trial adjacent experience within a partner led team.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The firm is seeking a 3rd to 6th year IP Litigation Associate Attorney with:

  • Experience handling patent and or trade secret litigation in a law firm setting
  • An undergraduate degree in hard sciences or life sciences
  • Strong academic credentials
  • Bar admission in the jurisdiction appropriate for the role
  • Excellent research, analytical, oral and written communication skills

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a strong fit for an associate who wants meaningful responsibility on high stakes disputes, exposure to sophisticated clients, and a Seattle based platform where collaboration and mentorship are central to how matters are staffed and managed.

Compensation

The anticipated salary range for this role is 225,000 to 365,000, depending on class year, experience and other relevant factors.

Relevant search terms: IP litigation, patent litigation, trade secret litigation, Seattle litigation associate, Washington litigation, technology litigation, life sciences litigation, hard sciences degree, biology degree, chemistry degree, engineering degree, motion practice, discovery, deposition preparation, expert discovery, federal court litigation, courtroom experience, trial preparation, IP disputes, patent infringement, trade secrets, protective orders, claim construction, case strategy, associate attorney
