We are the premiere law firm for startups who want to protect their brands, inventions and business and monetize their Intellectual Property Portfolio.
We are an upbeat, small but mighty, highly collaborative team and work with incredibly nice clients.

Why you’ll love working here
Our clients and our work are fun, fast-moving, and challenging. You will be working directly with our founder, Karima, and supporting her so she can stay in her zone of genius, helping our clients and our other attorney(s) and paralegals on a wide mix of projects.
We don’t do fire drills. While we will expect you to work efficiently and get things done on time, we don’t micromanage. We expect you to take responsibility for producing excellent work, and will treat you like the grown-up professional you are. We are organized and use checklists to be sure we don’t forget a step, and are always looking to improve and streamline our processes. We give (and expect) direct feedback, and ask for help when we need it. We leverage technology, so if you aren’t comfortable figuring out and adapting to new software on the regular, this will not be a good fit.
We will work with you to find a schedule and routine that works for both of us. There will be times when you have a heavy work load or looming deadline and you’ll need to work very hard, and other times we’ll encourage you to take the afternoon off to enjoy the outside sun.
We are collaborative and helpful to each other, and genuinely enjoy spending time with each other (and our clients).
