Trademark Associate Attorney
Small trademark law firm based in New York City and hoping to open a second office in Gilbert, Arizona looking for Arizona-licensed, fully remote full-time associate attorney with 0-2 years of experience, primarily to handle federal trademark clearance search and filing work. Important: Please apply through the following link, not through Indeed: https://jpglegal.com/associate/ About this job: ● The salary range is $75,000 to $85,000 depending on relevant experience, plus a small yearly bonus. ● Fully remote, but the associate must be within reach of Gilbert, Arizona for the occasional (once a month or less) meeting or administrative task. ● Flexible, reasonable hours. No billable hour requirement because we charge flat fees for our legal services; we generally don’t bill by the hour or track our time. Almost no external meetings, few phone calls. We almost never have video meetings with clients and we do our best to avoid scheduling any phone calls with clients because we prefer email. The few calls we do have with clients are typically unscheduled. One 1:1 video meeting with supervisor every week or two after associate gets settled in. ● Four weeks of all-purpose paid time off. 100% 401(k) match up to 4% after probationary period. Health insurance and parental leave. ● This is an entry-level or junior position so we will show you how we perform trademark searches and filings. All of your work will be reviewed for the first few months until you get the hang of our processes. After training, you will be given substantial work early on. The work will be interesting and varied because our clients operate in virtually every industry. About the firm: ● JPG Legal is an online trademark law firm that primarily serves entrepreneurs and small businesses who find and hire JPG Legal online. About 40% of our clients are based in foreign countries. We handle searches, applications, office action responses, renewals, and the early stages of oppositions and cancellations. Location: ● The firm’s main office is in Brooklyn, New York City. But for various reasons we’re opening a virtual office in the Phoenix, Arizona area, specifically in Gilbert or nearby in Chandler or Mesa. The associate will work remotely, but should have access to Gilbert for the occasional (maybe twice a year) in-person internal meeting. Additionally, the associate may need to check the firm’s Gilbert mailbox periodically if we’re expecting something important. Requirements: ● Must be licensed as an attorney in Arizona. Please do not apply if this is not the case. ● Trademark experience or demonstrated interest in intellectual property law strongly preferred. ● Proficiency or fluency in Spanish is a plus, but not required. About 98% of our clients communicate with us in English, but a few prefer to communicate in Spanish (mainly by email). Fluency in any other widely spoken language is also a plus. ● An affinity for computers and technology is preferred. ● Strong everyday writing skills and a good attention to detail are important for this position. Before we extend an offer, you may need to complete a short, informal writing assignment, which you will be compensated for. Bluebook-style writing skills are not required at this firm. ● To apply, please upload resume, cover letter, references, and unofficial transcript using the form found at this link: https://jpglegal.com/associate/ Do not apply through Indeed. We will start conducting candidate interviews in early March. We apologize in advance if we don’t end up contacting you about the position.
