Kobre & Kim consistently seeks exceptional candidates with the talent to deliver outstanding service that anticipates client needs.
** Position Details**:

Kobre & Kim is looking for an IP litigation associate to join our thriving trial-focused patent and trade secret practice in San Francisco. The ideal candidate is a driven, self-motivated litigator with patent experience and a strong interest in developing standup and trial experience in high-stakes technology disputes. The firm’s successful IP practice seeks creative and strategically minded candidates who are hungry to take on lead roles in major litigation, including taking and defending depositions, writing and arguing substantive motions, and meaningful participation on trial teams, including preparing witnesses, pretrial argument, and strategy.

The firm has multiple large patent and trade secrets cases going to trial in the next 18 months, and we want candidates who are looking for a transformative experience that will vault them into the next stage of their career.

You will join our highly regarded global team that regularly serves as special litigation counsel, avoiding conflicts that often prevent other firms from taking on the large-scale litigation common in patent infringement, trade secrets and IP and technology-related commercial disputes. As a result, we aggressively represent our clients even when facing industry-wide opposition. We are not just any other law firm that can be averse to large companies but being conflict-free by design allows us to be aggressive in a way that other law firms cannot.
** Requirements:
*** Graduated law school between 2022 - 2019
* Juris Doctorate Degree
* Robust writing, drafting and editing skills
* Clerkships and trial experience are always beneficial
* Undergraduate degree in the engineering, chemistry, biology and/or computer science fields are valuable but not required

Kobre & Kim focuses solely on disputes and investigations. Our lawyers collaborate on cross-border teams that handle matters involving criminal defense and regulatory enforcement; internal investigations; civil and commercial litigation; class actions; judgment enforcement and asset recovery; and financial products and services disputes.

Being part of our team will give you experience unrivaled in the world of premium high-stakes litigation. We recognize that our greatest asset is our people, so we want the best and the brightest to find and fulfill their true potential with us. We are looking for a new breed of litigators who combine substantive legal skills, problem-solving capabilities, intellectual rigor, determination, and a global outlook, with the creativity and people skills to have a real impact on the delivery of our innovative legal solutions.

Our lawyers bring their formidable skills and experience to think one step ahead, to address the client’s entire problem and not just the legal aspects. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, honed to appeal to business people and courts alike, we strike the perfect balance between civility and intellectual aggressiveness to generate unconventional legal strategies that deal with clients’ real problems.

Our unmatched global footprint gives us access to the most interesting markets, the most prominent clients and the most exciting cases. As Latin America, the Middle East and China present new opportunities and challenges for our clients, we make it our business to be there to help deliver innovative solutions and push boundaries. Global capabilities are not simply about having offices in all the right places;

it is the ability to seamlessly deploy exactly the right mix of people to meet the specific needs of a particular client, irrespective of location. This gives our people a richness of experience and opportunity that is genuinely unique.

Of course, having a global firm means embracing a global culture:
