MG Miller – one of New York’s most exciting, up-and-coming intellectual property boutique law firms – is looking to add a new Associate Patent Attorney to assist with the firm’s patent work.
MG Miller was founded in Manhattan in 2016. Since that time, the firm has grown its client base to over 300 clients spread across 5 continents. The firm’s clients range from individual inventors working out of their garage, to serial entrepreneurs rolling out a new venture, all the way to multi-million dollar companies that have been around for decades.
MG Miller focuses on emerging markets and other high-growth industries, leveraging their expertise in the cannabis, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and 3D printing spaces. MG Miller has an excellent track record of helping their clients develop and enforce their intellectual property.
In addition to the work MG Miller has done for their clients, founding attorney Matt Miller has gone to great lengths to create a vibrant work culture that breaks from the mold of traditional law firms. While many firms tout their “quality of life” as being a perk, the positive firm culture at MG Miller is more than just a tag line – MG Miller places a strong emphasis on personal and professional growth of all of its staff members. To that end, there are no billable hour requirements for the attorneys.
While maintaining quality of life is important, we also seek candidates who are passionate about their work and care about doing a thorough, high-quality job. MG Miller firmly believes that this does not necessitate 15-hour days; instead, the expectation is that their attorneys will leave no stone unturned to try to get the best result for each client. Successful candidates will have a strong attention to detail, be thorough in their work, and have strong interpersonal skills.”
