Associate - Copyright Litigation

Advocates Legal Recruiting

Mid-Level IP Litigation Associate – Copyright Focus

Our AmLaw 100 client is seeking a mid-level litigation associate (3–4 years) to join its nationally ranked copyright practice. Recognized by Chambers and other leading directories for IP litigation, this group handles high-profile disputes at the intersection of technology and copyright law, including recent matters involving streaming platforms, AI-generated content, and large-scale software infringement claims. Many of these cases set precedent and draw national attention.

Role Summary: You'll work on complex copyright litigation involving technology, media, and digital content. Responsibilities include drafting pleadings and briefs, managing discovery, taking and defending depositions, and collaborating closely with partners on case strategy. You won't be siloed here. Associates work shoulder-to-shoulder with leading copyright litigators, gaining trial experience and direct client contact early.

The firm invests in advancement with a transparent promotion track, leadership development, and the bench strength to take on the most complex, closely watched cases in the market.

Candidate Profile: 3–4 years of law firm experience in IP matters, with a focus on copyright litigation. Strong academic background; technical degree preferred. Experience with technology-related disputes. Excellent research, analytical, and communication skills. Admission to the bar in the state where you will practice.

Why This Role: Work directly with some of the most respected copyright litigators in the country, supported by a clear advancement framework, structured mentorship, and a platform with the resources to take on precedent-setting matters. Gain exposure to cutting-edge issues in technology and media, backed by career development programs that include leadership training, cross-office collaboration, and client-facing opportunities from day one.

Confidential Inquiries: If you have the experience and are interested in a discreet conversation, please reach out directly for more details.
