What is an FDA attorney?

FDA attorneys are legal professionals who specialize in laws and regulations enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They advise companies in the pharmaceutical, food, medical device, and biotechnology industries on how to comply with FDA rules. Their work includes helping with product approvals, labeling, advertising, clinical trials, and responding to FDA enforcement actions. FDA attorneys also represent clients in disputes with the agency and may assist with policy development or regulatory strategy.

What are some common challenges faced by FDA attorneys when working with clients in highly regulated industries?

FDA attorneys often encounter challenges related to the complexity and frequent changes of regulations governing pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, and cosmetics. Clients may struggle to interpret and implement new compliance requirements, and attorneys must provide clear guidance while staying up to date with evolving laws and FDA guidance documents. Additionally, FDA attorneys frequently collaborate with regulatory affairs, quality assurance, and product development teams to ensure clients' products meet both legal and scientific standards. Managing tight deadlines for submissions and responding to enforcement actions or warning letters can also be a significant part of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an FDA attorney, and why are they important?

To thrive as an FDA Attorney, you need a law degree, active bar membership, and deep knowledge of FDA regulations, healthcare law, and compliance practices. Familiarity with regulatory submission systems, legal research databases, and document management tools like LexisNexis and Westlaw is typical. Strong analytical thinking, negotiation skills, and the ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly are crucial soft skills. These qualifications ensure effective client representation, regulatory compliance, and successful navigation of the complex life sciences legal environment.

Build our future together:
We are seeking a Trademark Attorney to join our in-house legal team, supporting the global trademark portfolio for our pharmaceutical products and corporate brands. This role is ideal for an attorney with a strong foundation in trademark prosecution and brand protection who is looking to deepen their expertise in the highly regulated, high-stakes environment of pharmaceutical branding - where trademark strategy intersects closely with regulatory approval (Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other health authorities), risk management, and commercial strategy.
When & where:
  • Location: Tarrytown, NY
  • Work model/flexibility: 4 days onsite

Discover your role:
  • Manage the global trademark portfolio (prosecution, maintenance, renewals, and enforcement) for prescription product brands, corporate names, and pipeline candidates
  • Supervise outside counsel in preparing and prosecuting global trademark applications relating to commercial and patient/educational activities
  • Conduct and oversee trademark clearance searches and provide advice to internal clients on third-party trademarks and freedom-to-operate risk
  • Support legal clearance for secondary nomenclature needs such as INNs, logo designs, foreign language transliterations, and 4-letter biologic suffixes for new product compounds, line extensions, in-licensed and co-marketed drugs, devices, digital apps, and patient support programs
  • Advise commercial, marketing, and branding teams on trademark selection, usage guidelines, and brand protection strategy across all channels (packaging, promotional materials, digital/social media)
  • Draft and negotiate trademark-related agreements, including licensing, coexistence, consent, and settlement agreements
  • Manage domestic and international trademark filings and prosecution through outside counsel networks; oversee budgets and vendor relationships
  • Manage enforcement actions against third parties seeking to misappropriate company names, products, websites, and internet domain names, including UDRP proceedings; monitor the marketplace and online channels for infringement, counterfeiting, and grey-market issues; handle opposition/cancellation proceedings before the USPTO/TTAB and foreign trademark offices
  • Support counterfeiting mitigation by registering trademarks with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and equivalent global agencies, and partner with Corporate Security, Communications, Commercial, and Digital teams to address cybersquatting and online brand misuse
  • Coordinate with in-house litigation colleagues on trademark infringement, unfair competition, and related disputes in federal and state court, including case strategy, discovery support, and expert coordination

This role requires:
  • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing (state bar as applicable)
  • 5 plus years of trademark law experience, with a mix of law firm and/or in-house experience preferred
  • Substantive experience with trademark prosecution, portfolio management, and enforcement
  • Experience in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, or healthcare industry strongly preferred; familiarity with FDA proprietary name review process a plus
  • Experience with international trademark filing strategy and coordination with foreign counsel
  • Strong drafting and negotiation skills, including licensing and coexistence agreements
