About this role

We are looking for an IP Transactional Attorney with 5+ years of experience to join a top-ranked boutique law firm and handle IP-heavy transactional work across licensing, MSAs, and corporate deals.

  • Building and growing your own book of business with firm marketing support and flexible billable targets (1,600 hours)

Key Requirements
  • 5-7+ years of IP transactional experience (not purely copyright/trademark registration - must be transactional)
  • Substantial experience in licensing, IP-heavy transactions, and technology/software licensing
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with demonstrated ability to develop client relationships
  • Privacy law expertise is a strong plus and highly valued


Salary

$250K - $300K ($250K base salary with a guaranteed $50K bonus at 1,600 billable hours, discretionary bonus for hours above 1,600, and additional bonus for collections on your own clients above $250K. Significant upside through origination sharing - attorneys with proven portables can earn well above base through the firm's generous compensation structure.)
