Top Patent Attorney jobs in Utah

Nolte Lackenbach Siegel is a boutique intellectual property (IP) firm with offices in Houston, New York, Austin, Boston, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Palo Alto. We are seeking an experienced attorney with a strong electrical/software background to join our patent team. The position will focus on patent preparation and prosecution, IP diligence, opinions, patent searching, IP related agreements, and other patent related legal work.

We are specifically looking for an attorney or agent in the Salt Lake City area to help us service clients in the vicinity.

Our firm offers a relaxed working atmosphere with startup-type benefits that include medical, dental, and life insurance, a guaranteed 3% 401k contribution, flexible time off, great lifestyle with the ability to make your own schedule/hours, and a collaborative team to work with that you'll actually enjoy being around (no jerks). Most importantly, the firm highly values and supports business development, so if you're looking to build your practice, you won't find a more supportive place to do it.

Our performance-based compensation system is competitive with any firm in the market and has unlimited earning potential. Although many of our attorneys work a schedule that is comfortable for their lifestyle, for an attorney that is eager to work, the performance-based compensation will generate $300,000 in compensation.

We are very flexible with hours, time off, personal life, as we focus primarily on quality work product and life balance.

We seek an attorney with solid work experience, at least 7 years, strong academic credentials, superior writing ability, a quick-study aptitude, the ability to instill client confidence, and who will thrive in a creative, entrepreneurial, and collegial environment.

The primary factor in filling this position will be portable business. We're not looking for someone with a full book of business, as that wouldn't help us to get the work done that we already have. Rather, we're looking for someone with a small amount of portable business -- more explanation -- we really don't care too about the portables, but we REALLY care about what it means that you HAVE PORTABLES. Put simply, portable clients are the absolute best indicators of good client service and quality work product, if you can get a client and keep them, then you likely know what you're doing! So some amount of portable business, even a small amount, is required to apply for this position.
