Description
Mid-Level IP Litigation Associate – Bay Area (Palo Alto / San Francisco)
The Firm & Opportunity
An AmLaw 35 firm is seeking exceptional mid-level associates to join its IP Litigation practice in the Bay Area, with flexibility for placement in Palo Alto or San Francisco. This is an elite litigation group that continues to enjoy sustained success in the market, advising leading technology companies on complex, high-stakes patent disputes involving cutting-edge innovations.
We have placed into this group previously and know it to be a high-performing, well-regarded team with a strong reputation for both the quality of its work and the way it develops its lawyers. Associates work closely with experienced trial lawyers on all aspects of patent litigation, including district court matters, ITC investigations, and appellate work, often in cases with significant commercial and strategic impact.
Hiring Profile
The firm is seeking 3rd–5th year associates with strong patent litigation experience gained at a elite Big Law firm. Ideal candidates will have a technical background, including an undergraduate and/or advanced degree in engineering, computer science, physics, or a closely related field, and experience handling substantive components of patent litigation matters.
Qualifications
Why This Role
This opportunity offers the chance to join a positive, collaborative office environment where partners are genuinely invested in associate development and long-term career trajectory. The group is known for thoughtful mentorship, meaningful responsibility, and a culture that supports sustained success rather than short-term burnout. For litigators seeking sophisticated work, strong sponsorship, and a clear path to growth within an elite team, this is a compelling seat in the Bay Area market.
