Job description
Our client, an elite, nationally acclaimed commercial litigation trial boutique seeks experienced patent litigators to join its team. The successful candidates will possess excellent academic credentials and 4-12 years of sophisticated, complex litigation experience, including significant district court patent litigation exposure, from a peer litigation practice. A scientific or technical background is preferred. This alternative billing, results-oriented firm compensates above market yet values the work/life balance of its lawyers.
Why This Opportunity is Exciting:
High-Impact Cases: Hands-on work on complex, high-stakes patent litigation cases that challenge and develop your skills.
Collaborative Environment: Join a team of top-tier trial attorneys in a boutique setting that values collaboration and mentorship.
Exceptional Benefits and Career Growth: Benefit from a clear path to advancement, above-market compensation and unparalleled client exposure.
Requirements
Top-flight trial and litigation boutique seeking experienced patent litigators for case leadership role with significant client contact and stand-up opportunities on cases focused on patent litigation in tech, medical, and other fields
Position pays at or above market. Candidates are eligible for discretionary bonus that has typically been at or above market.
Candidates must have 4-12 years’ experience at a firm that is considered top band for patent litigation or a boutique with equivalent standards
Candidates’ experience must be almost exclusively in litigation with a strong district court patent litigation component (though dedicated patent litigation practice is not required)
Candidates must have substantial experience with major litigation and patent-lit-specific events, including preparing for Markman hearings, taking depositions and preparing witnesses for depositions, working with experts, preparing and responding to written discovery, and preparing contentions
Experience arguing substantive motions strongly preferred but not required
Experience being on a trial team preferred but not required
Candidates must have a strong knowledge of the fundamentals of patent law
Candidates must have strong writing skills and have experience briefing discovery issues, Markman, and ideally (but not required) dispositive motions
A scientific or technical background (e.g., an undergrad degree in a hard science or engineering) is a bonus but not required – patent litigation experience is more important, and experience with technical cases and willingness to grapple with scientific concepts can substitute for a hard science background
Candidates should have top-tier law school with excellent academic record or very top of class at a less renowned program.
The firm follows a 3/2 hybrid work week. Preferred candidates will reside in Chicago or be willing to relocate within 6 months of hire. The firm offers generous relocation packages and will consider an non-relocating attorney on a case-by-case basis
