About this role

We are looking for an IP Litigation Associate with 1-6 years of experience to join Morrison & Foerster's powerhouse patent litigation practice.

  • Working collaboratively across offices on matters involving cutting-edge technologies
  • Contributing to ITC proceedings, district court litigation, and client counseling

Key Requirements

  • Undergraduate degree in hard sciences — computer science, physics, math, electrical engineering, or life sciences strongly preferred (PhD in a relevant field is a major plus)
  • Strong academic credentials — the group reviews law school and undergraduate transcripts/GPAs closely
  • Experience at a top law firm handling patent and/or trade secret litigation
  • Admitted to the state bar in which you are practicing
  • Stable career trajectory — minimal lateral moves preferred

Role responsibilities

• Represent clients in high-profile and complex patent disputes.
