We have guided a wide range of extraordinary clients through dynamic shifts in technology and the world economy that have profoundly affected strategies for protecting and enforcing brands and content. We represent clients from a variety of industries, and our attorneys are well-versed in both prosecution and adversarial matters.

We are seeking a 2L Summer Associate to join our 6-week program in the second half of summer in Austin, TX. Summer Associates are expected to work in-office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

  • Law journal experience and GPA in the top quarter of class are strongly preferred.
  • A science background is not required.
  • While not required, if you have a personal connection to Austin or Texas, please also include this information in your cover letter. 

We will review applications on a rolling basis.

The compensation we expect to pay for this position is $3,115.38 per week. This position is not available to any candidates who will now or in the future require a U.S. visa from the firm, such as the H-1B, TN-1, TN-2, or E-3 visa.
