  • Strong experience with M&A-related IP and technology matters preferred
  • Experience working in cross-disciplinary, cross-office teams
  • Strong drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills
  • Excellent academic credentials and prior large law firm experience preferred
  • Active member of the California Bar preferred
Compensation

The expected base salary range for this position is $310,000 – $390,000 annually , with eligibility for a discretionary year-end bonus. Compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and other job-related factors consistent with applicable law.

Additional Information
