Advertising, marketing and media IP partner

The opportunity

An opportunity with a prestigious AM 200 firm that is growing its Washington, DC office due to client demand. The office is seeking an attorney with advertising, marketing and media IP experience to help expand this practice, particularly for its healthcare clients.

This is a unique opportunity for someone looking to build their practice while working alongside a Chambers Band 1 ranked IP team.

What stood out in our work with the firm

Collaborative compensation model. The firm does not rely on a traditional origination credit system. Attorneys are recognised for the quality of their work, client service, collaboration and overall contribution to the firm.

Clear partnership path. Partnership consideration typically begins in the eighth or ninth year. The firm has an income partner tier, but attorneys are not held there indefinitely, and there is a defined path to equity partnership.

Leadership development. Future partners take part in an intensive partner bootcamp focused on leadership, business development and long-term success.

Flexible working. There is no formal in-office mandate. The firm encourages in-person collaboration and mentorship, but attorneys have flexibility in where they work.

Who we’re looking for

• You are an established IP partner in DC with a focus on marketing and advertising.
• The firm will also consider high-performing senior associates and of counsel for election to the partnership.
• The firm does not do patent work, so we are looking for a pure IP professional.
• You will need a portable book of business valued at around $1.5m, ideally with a healthcare, pharma or life sciences bias.
