Job Description:

A national patent boutique is actively seeking a contract attorney with a biotechnology, food science, or pharmaceutical background to join their team on a long-term contract basis. The current workload is projected to be 10+ hours a week, with possibility of an hours increase.


The firm is a distinguished boutique law firm, providing comprehensive counseling to clients as they develop, register, enforce, and defend their intellectual property rights globally.
