Location: Palo Alto, CA (Preferred)
Full-Time

The practice focuses on advising technology companies on complex intellectual property and commercial transactions, with an emphasis on structuring, drafting, and negotiating strategic agreements across the technology sector.

  • Supporting clients across all stages of growth, from startups to established global technology companies

This is an opportunity for an experienced attorney who is entrepreneurial, collaborative, and interested in helping grow a leading national technology transactions practice. The role also involves mentoring junior attorneys and working closely with a national team.

Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience in intellectual property and/or technology transactions
  • Experience drafting and negotiating complex commercial and IP agreements
  • Strong interest in technology companies and innovation-driven industries
  • Technical or scientific background a plus, but not required
  • Excellent academic credentials
  • Strong drafting, analytical, and communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment

Compensation & Benefits
The expected salary range is $420,000–$435,000 , depending on experience and year classification. Discretionary merit-based bonuses may also be awarded.

The firm offers a competitive benefits package, including healthcare coverage, retirement benefits, paid parental leave, wellness programs, professional development support, paid CLE and bar expenses, and additional employee benefits.

Direct Counsel is conducting a confidential search for qualified candidates.
