The Silicon Valley office's intellectual property team maintains a close-knit, casual office environment that fosters teamwork and ample career development opportunities. Further, senior lawyers in the practice will actively provide training and assist with career development. Numerous members of our team are diverse.

Sheppard Mullin's IP practice continues to grow. Since 2010, the IP practice group has strategically grown from 45 to over 130 IP professionals firmwide. We represent leading and emerging companies, and take pride in offering a diverse, collaborative team of attorneys and patent agents who are committed to professional excellence in a collegial environment.

Successful candidates will work in our Silicon Valley office in accordance with Sheppard Mullin's Return to Office policy and flexible working arrangements. Qualified candidates should have experience litigating intellectual property disputes, such as district court patents cases or PTAB proceedings. Candidates should possess a background in science and technology, ideally with a degree in areas such as electrical engineering, computer science, or physics.
