🏗️ About the role

We are looking for a super smart and talented Patent Litigator to lead and build out our patent litigation capability as we build Charts, our patent litigation product.

You'll be joining the most lean, talent-dense, and fast-moving legal team in London.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Conducting infringement and validity analysis across technical domains

  • Advising on litigation risk and developing strategic recommendations for clients using the platform

  • 3+ years of experience as an associate or senior associate in patent litigation

  • Technical background — ideally a patent attorney who moved into patent litigation (technical field agnostic: life sciences, electronics, mechanical, etc.)

  • Super smart, hard working, and high agency — the kind of person who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

  • Experience at elite patent litigation firms (e.g. Quinn Emanuel, Kirkland & Ellis, or equivalent calibre)

  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking with the ability to break down complex technical and legal issues

  • Based in NYC or London

Nice to have:

  • Experience across both life sciences and non-life sciences patent matters

  • Familiarity with AI/ML tools in legal workflows

  • Prior experience at a startup or in-house legal team

  • Dual-qualified or experience with cross-border patent disputes
