Holland & Hart’s trademark group (Colorado’s only “Gold Band” ranked practice by World Trademark Review) is seeking an associate or of counsel with 5+ years of trademark experience to join our trademark team. We encourage both partner-track associate candidates and of counsel candidates (including those seeking to reenter the work force) to apply.

Requirements
Ideal candidates should be able to perform all aspects of domestic and global portfolio management, including search and clearance (familiarity with Corsearch platform preferred but not required), global trademark strategy development, and domestic and international trademark prosecution. While the primary focus will be non-contentious work, experience in trademark enforcement (demand letters and TTAB proceedings), online marketplace enforcement, domain enforcement, and anti-counterfeiting enforcement is a plus. Candidates must demonstrate superior writing and communication skills, as well as an ability to juggle multiple (trademark) tasks at once. Foreign language skills are not required but highly valued.

Candidates should appreciate a fast-paced and team-centric environment that is flat in hierarchy. This candidate will be working alongside a team of 14 professionals (70% diverse in gender, ethnicity, and/or LGBTQ status). We seek candidates who will (quietly or boldly – all Myer’s Briggs personalities welcome) contribute to elevating our practice and client service standards. We are committed to efficiently delivering business-oriented client service to domestic and international clientele (ranging from start-up ventures to publicly traded companies) while thriving in a college town at the base of the Rocky Mountains.

References will be required.

Application Process
Please apply directly online and be prepared to submit a resume, cover letter and law school transcripts. You may address your cover letter and/or direct application questions to Lydia Miller, Recruiting Coordinator, LFMiller@hollandhart.com. No phone calls or unsolicited resumes from search firms, please. Search firm inquiries may be directed to Lisa Liss LVLiss@hollandhart.com.

Explanation of Voluntary Self Identification Opportunity for EEO-1 and Mansfield Certification
Holland & Hart LLP (the “Firm”) may be required by federal law to compile and file a report (referred to as an “EEO-1”) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The report contains aggregated data of applicants’ gender, race and/or ethnicity, and does not identify applicants by name. Some states in which the Firm does business may also require the collection of such information. We provide every applicant, current employee and newly hired employee the option to voluntarily supply the requested information and take advantage of firm-sponsored programs and initiatives that may benefit them.

Having achieved Mansfield Certification and Mansfield Certification Plus every year, Holland & Hart continues its efforts to advance the representation of diverse lawyers in leadership by various strategic initiatives including ensuring that an all-inclusive applicant base is considered for attorney positions.

The Firm gathers race/ethnicity data for inclusion in an EEO-1 report and Mansfield Certification report. While the Firm may be required by law to file an EEO-1 report and the information you supply will help facilitate this process, your participation is entirely voluntary and the status of your application or your potential employment will not be affected by your decision to participate or to refrain from participating in this data collection process.

The firm also gathers data regarding veteran status and LGBTQ+, both of which are not required for EEO-1 reporting purposes, however data related to LGBTQ+ data is requested as part of the Mansfield Certification reporting. Your decision to provide the information is also entirely voluntary, and your candidacy will not be affected by your decision to participate or not.
