Our client handles complex, innovative technology transactions for some of the most prominent life sciences and technology companies in the United States and abroad. Our technology transactions group also works closely with our corporate group, which is consistently ranked as one of the top Startup & Venture Capital, IPO and M&A practices in the United States, as well as our leading life sciences patent prosecution practice.

Our client currently seeking associates with two (2) to four (4) years of licensing / collaboration and commercial partnering transactions experience for our growing life sciences technology transactions practice. The ideal candidate will have substantial law firm experience representing biotechs and big pharmas as they license patents and collaborate to advance novel therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostic and digital health technologies through clinical trials and toward regulatory (FDA) approval.

Experience working with AI-native or AI-driven biotechnology companies—particularly those integrating artificial intelligence or machine learning into drug discovery, diagnostics, or life sciences R&D—is a plus.

This is an ideal position for candidates seeking to work closely with founders developing cutting edge technologies and negotiate complex standalone commercial transactions that transform both the technologies and participants. The position also suits those desiring both life sciences and broader tech exposure. Superior academic credentials, excellent oral, written and interpersonal skills required.

Our client requires that the candidate must be barred in the state of the office they are submitting their application for or are eligible to sit/waive into the next bar exam.

3 days in-office. Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, San Francisco, DC, Seattle, Santa Monica. Relocation is supported, and Fenwick is happy to pay for it. Candidates must be admitted to the bar in the jurisdiction where they intend to work or be eligible to waive into the bar within three to six months. Sitting for the bar exam is not supported.
