  • Counsel clients on copyright registration, licensing, enforcement, and brand protection matters.
  • Advise businesses on trade secret protection, intellectual property ownership, and commercialization strategies.
  • Handle trademark opposition, cancellation, enforcement, and dispute resolution matters before the USPTO and other tribunals.
  • Conduct intellectual property due diligence in connection with mergers, acquisitions, financing transactions, and other corporate matters.
  • Collaborate with attorneys across multiple practice groups to develop comprehensive legal solutions for clients.
  • Stay current on developments in intellectual property law and proactively advise clients on emerging legal and business risks.
Qualifications:
  • Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school.
  • Active membership in good standing with the Arizona State Bar, or eligibility for admission.
  • Minimum 5 years of intellectual property law experience.
  • Strong experience with trademark prosecution, trademark portfolio management, and intellectual property counseling.
  • Experience drafting and negotiating intellectual property licensing and commercial agreements.
  • Excellent legal research, writing, negotiation, and analytical skills.
  • Strong client relationship management and communication abilities.
  • Ability to independently manage multiple client matters while collaborating within a team-oriented environment.
Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience representing startups, entrepreneurs, emerging growth companies, or closely held businesses.
  • Experience with copyright, trade secrets, licensing, and brand protection.
  • Familiarity with technology, software, manufacturing, consumer products, life sciences, or other innovation-driven industries.
  • Experience conducting intellectual property due diligence for mergers and acquisitions.
  • USPTO registration and patent prosecution experience is a plus, but not required.
  • Portable book of business is welcomed but not required.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Salary: $175,000 – $250,000, commensurate with experience and practice background.
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Business development incentives.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
