This role is ideal for a highly credentialed scientist seeking to transition their expertise into a strategic legal career. The Science Specialist will operate as a critical technical resource for attorneys and clients within the Intellectual Property Transactions & Strategies Group, focusing on matters within the Life Sciences and Chemical domains. Key responsibilities include:

  • Pioneering the drafting of original patent applications, encompassing the preparation of highly detailed specifications and legally sound claims in close collaboration with inventors and corporate IP counsel.
  • Executing in-depth prior art investigations and complex freedom-to-operate (FTO) analyses to inform client research and development pipelines and mitigate litigation risk.
  • Conducting scientific assessments of novel inventions to render technical opinions on patentability thresholds, patent validity, and potential third-party infringement exposure.
  • Supporting intellectual property due diligence in high-value corporate transactions, including venture capital investments, complex licensing deals, and public M&A.
  • Developing and presenting IP landscape and competitive intelligence reports to guide clients’ long-term research strategies and business planning decisions.
  • Directly managing global patent portfolio needs, including preparing strategic responses to patent office actions under the guidance of supervising attorneys.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional legal teams and clients to ensure IP objectives are fully aligned with overarching commercial goals.

Qualifications:

  • Two (2) to four (4) years of experience in patent drafting, prosecution, or related IP technical support.
  • A deep scientific background demonstrated by an advanced technical degree (M.S., Ph.D., or equivalent) in Chemistry or a closely related field (e.g., Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry).
  • Demonstrated knowledge of core U.S. and international patent law concepts, specifically within the Life Sciences and Biotechnology sectors.
  • Exceptional technical writing and communication skills for drafting complex legal and scientific documents.
  • Eligibility to sit for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registration examination.

Preferred Skills:

  • Admission to practice before the USPTO (Patent Agent registration number).
  • Ph.D. degree or M.D. in a relevant chemical discipline.
  • Previous experience in a law firm or in-house legal department environment, with a focus on patent preparation and prosecution.
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and the demonstrated capacity to excel in a deadline-driven, sophisticated legal environment.
