Job of the Week: Can You Smell the Ocean?

Thumbnail image for Job of the Week Lateral Link ATL logo.gifWe often get excited about the Job of the Week, but this one is particularly delicious. If we were junior litigators, we’d do 100 trips up and down the Santa Monica stairs just to apply to this spot (which is convenient, since they are nearby).
A top-notch boutique firm, overlooking the ocean, with no billable hours and a compensation package that could be two to three times market…. What’s the catch? You have to have graduated from the top of your class at a top 10 law school. This position is a Lateral Link exclusive, so if you are interested in being considered for it, contact the good folks over at Lateral Link.
Position: IP Litigation Associate
Location: Santa Monica, CA
Description: An IP litigation boutique seeks an attorney with 1 to 3 years of experience. The successful candidate would be expected to quickly develop the skill and experience needed to run his or her own cases, draft and argue key motions, take depositions, manage client relationships, handle settlement negotiations, and participate in arbitration and trial.
Compensation will depend in part on experience level but will be market-competitive and consist of a base salary and firm-revenue-based bonus. There is no cap on the upside. Compensation may surpass market rates by a multiple of 2-3 times, depending on firm revenues. A clerkship bonus is also available.
Requirements and a link to the full listing, after the jump.


Requirements: No minimum experience is required. However, candidates with more than three years of attorney experience are not preferred for this position. No particular educational (i.e., technical) background is required. But the following are essential: top performance at a top ten law school, efficiency (we don’t bill hours and neither will you), a strong interest in patent litigation and trial work, and a visceral drive to produce top-quality work and demonstrate excellence in everything from the smallest to the most important tasks.
