HPC seeks exceptional candidates for a patent and antitrust litigation associate role. HPC is involved in some of the biggest and most exciting patent and antitrust cases in the country.

The ideal candidate will possess:

1-4 years of experience in patent or technology litigation

Exceptional academic credentials, including at least top 15% of law school class and law review or moot court

We welcome diversity in the contributions that individuals bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
