BOUTIQUE FIRM LOOKING FOR JUNIOR TRANSACTIONAL IP ASSOCIATES

One of our close clients, a New York-based general practice firm with a focus on advertising, is looking for talented and well-credentialed IP transactional associates.  This is a rare opportunity for someone looking for a more relaxed culture, yet greater hands-on experience on smaller IP transactional deals.  You will have the opportunity to counsel and interface directly with clients and work on a large range of transactions.  Associates tend to be very happy at this firm. Most either stay and make partner or, if they can be persuaded to leave, join top in-house opportunities.

PATENT LITIGATION START-UP FIRM SEEKING OUTSTANDING JUNIOR ASSOCIATES

This boutique is looking for a hard-working and ambitious patent litigator (classes of 2009 to 2011) who finds the idea of being part of a growing yet vibrant firm exhilarating and wants to get in at the ground floor.  The most unique aspect of this firm is that there are no billable hours.  The compensation is top-of-the-market (including above market bonuses for top performers).  This opportunity is for those litigators who yearn to be in a courtroom and want to have a tremendous amount of hands-on experience.  Partners are dynamic and looking for associates who are the same.

PRESTIGIOUS BOUTIQUE LOOKING FOR LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATES

Our client, with whom we have placed multiple attorneys, is a high-end boutique firm that offers associates substantial responsibility, direct client contact and the opportunity to work on sophisticated labor & employment matters.  With offices around the country, the NY office has the greatest presence and is looking for associates who possess an outgoing personality and the desire to be on the front lines.  Must possess strong credentials and have a demonstrated interest and experience in labor & employment law.

CALIFORNIA-BASED FIRM WITH STRONG PRESENCE LOOKING FOR MID-LEVEL FUND FORMATION ASSOCIATES

This Silicon Valley firm with a strong east coast presence has engaged us to identify dynamic fund formation lawyers with 3-5 years of big firm experience to join its thriving fund formation practice in New York.  If you are the right fit, you will have the opportunity to represent venture capital and private equity investment funds in all phases of their life cycle.  Three of the six founding partners devote a substantial portion of their time to this practice, which is widely recognized as one of the nation's preeminent private investment fund practices.  Over the last ten years, they have formed over one thousand venture capital and private equity investment funds and related entities.  This type of opportunity offers an excellent platform for those of you who are looking for an in-house experience and/or the opportunity to move in-house down the road.  The NY office is intimate (less than 30 lawyers) and offers a more laid-back culture and more dynamic clients.
