Section 337 Litigation Associate

Practice Area: Intellectual Property

Our client, a national law firm with offices across the United States, seeks a Section 337 Litigation Associate with three to six years of experience practicing before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). The role is open to candidates at any of the firm's offices, including its virtual office. The ideal candidate will have participated in at least two Section 337 ITC cases and be thoroughly familiar with ITC-specific issues such as domestic industry, remedies, enforcement, and the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. A background in IP law is required, though a technical background is not. The associate will work primarily with attorneys in the firm's Technology, Manufacturing & Transportation business unit.

Candidates should possess excellent academic credentials, strong interpersonal skills, and a demonstrated ability to work well under pressure. Exceptional judgment, the ability to manage multiple projects, and strong legal strategy articulation are essential. An active bar license in the state of the office applied to—or commitment to obtain one promptly—is required.

The firm offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and eligibility for performance and client development bonuses. The compensation range for this position in California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, D.C. is $215,000 to $250,000, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salaries in other markets may vary.
