Job Description
Job Description
Brand, IP & Business Strategy Trestle Law, APC • Fully Remote • $185,000–$225,000 (CALIFORNIA LICENSE REQUIRED)
Trestle Law is a modern intellectual property and business law firm. We work with founders, creators, and brand-driven businesses — the kind of clients who treat their IP as a strategic asset, not a checkbox. We are not a high-volume filing shop. We provide strategic counsel that helps clients protect, structure, and monetize what they've built.
We are hiring a senior attorney to take ownership of high-level matters across IP, business, and select federal litigation, and to help shape where the firm goes next.
This role is fully remote, Monday through Friday, 8 to 5 PST.
Compensation:$185,000 - $225,000
Responsibilities:If you are looking for big-law structure, this is not it. If you are looking to be a senior attorney inside a focused, growing boutique with real client relationships and real autonomy, keep reading.
What you'll do
- Lead matters across business, IP, and select federal litigation, including trademark and copyright disputes, TTAB proceedings, licensing, and commercial contracts
- Serve as primary counsel to clients on strategic IP and business matters — brand protection, monetization, contract negotiation, dispute strategy
- Supervise paralegals and junior staff on trademark prosecution and copyright matters, with strategic review rather than line-level drafting
- Mentor a developing junior attorney already running litigation matters
- Collaborate with the managing attorney as a peer on firm strategy, client experience, and growth
- Contribute to a premium advisory offering being built for high-value clients
- Bill approximately 1,500 hours annually — a humane and realistic target
Who you are
- 8+ years of practice, with substantive experience in IP, business, and commercial litigation
- Comfortable operating at a senior level: taking verbal direction, owning matters end-to-end, and exercising independent judgment
- California bar in good standing
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills, with a track record of moving complex matters efficiently
- Experience supervising and developing junior attorneys and staff
- Comfortable with fixed-fee work and managing matters against a budget
- Proficient in modern tools — Clio, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Word
You are likely a strong fit if you
- Think like a business owner, not just a technician
- See legal issues from 10,000 feet and act with the right level of detail
- Take initiative without waiting to be told
- Enjoy mentoring younger attorneys
- Want to build something — not just bill hours
Preferred (not required)
- Soft IP focus (trademark, copyright, trade dress)
- TTAB experience
- Experience advising founder-led or creative businesses
- Origination welcome but not expected — we generate our own pipeline
