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.
