Senior Patent Litigation Attorney – High-Level IP Disputes | New York, NY

A top-tier intellectual property group seeks a senior patent litigation associate in New York. Work on district court, ITC, and PTAB matters involving cutting-edge technologies for both patent owners and accused infringers.

This international law firm has a reputation for providing early client-contact and substantive work for its associates. The small-firm feel of this global firm is fostered by the numerous firm events and great training provided by partners and senior associates. The firm continues to grow by attracting impressive lateral partners from top firms around the country.

A leading global IP litigation practice is seeking a senior-level Patent Litigation Associate to join its New York office. This role offers the chance to work on sophisticated disputes involving advanced technologies across electronics, computer science, hardware systems, and engineering-based innovations. Attorneys in this group gain meaningful client contact and early ownership over strategic components of litigation.

The practice provides a collegial environment where associates receive strong mentorship while also handling substantive case responsibilities.
