The Firm represents its clients in disputes and litigation (both civil and commercial), intellectual property, and transactional or contract work.

Within its Internet and technology law practice, the Internet attorneys on staff provide seasoned advice and counsel to our clients on issues relating to intellectual property, defamation (also referred to as cybersmear), eavesdropping, cyberbullying, privacy (identity theft, unauthorized access to email, surveillance, unauthorized publication of private material), social media, domain names, trademarks, copyrights and more.

Beyond Internet and technology law, the Firm provides representation in matters related to corporate structure, intellectual property (trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets), film production, defamation, privacy, and litigation. Additionally, with respect to our corporate clients, we draft employment, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

With clients in such diverse fields as software, gaming technology, film, and construction, the Firm provides a broad range of legal services to startups, small to medium sized businesses, and entrepreneurs.

Application Requirements

An applicant must submit a cover letter, resume, and writing sample of original work to ensure consideration. 

Associate Attorney

We seek a full-time associate with 2-5 years of experience who wants to practice law in an environment that will expose them to high standards, court experience, client contact, research, writing, and a collaborative team with whom to work.  We want attorneys who desire to practice on the cutting-edge of developing legal issues involving the Internet, new technologies, startups, video games, privacy, and more.  We want attorneys who enjoy technology, know how to use the Internet well, understand what an IP address happens to be, and possess an appetite to exceed their potential. 

In particular, we seek to fill a position with an associate who wants to focus on law relating to Internet and Video Gaming Law.  Though this will not be the sole focus, it will be a primary focus.  We also seek an associate that has corporate law background.  Do you know Minecraft? Do you understand concepts of user generated content and virtual property?  Have you used Second Life?  If your have answered yes to any of these questions, we want to hear from you.  Are you out there? 

We need a motivated individual to join our team and work to provide exceptional representation to our clients.  Our practice is predominantly litigation based.  As such, the position will involve exposure and work in both state and federal courts.  That being said, the position will also involve exposure to transactional work and intellectual property matters.  There may be document review, research, drafting, collaboration, appearing in court, and other related matters.  

You must have exceptional communication and writing skills.  You must be able to understand novel concepts and think "outside the box."  We want a creative.  We want you to distinguish yourself. 

The positions will be full-time and salaried.  Our team works in the office from 9 to 6.  However, we also work until the assigned projects have been completed. 

This is not a six-figure position.  Though we do not offer the same salaries as the larger firms in the Chicago area, we provide immediate hands on experience to varied aspects of extremely interesting areas of the law.  Moreover, we emphasize a team environment that serves to produce a creative and productive work environment in which a young associate can grow and assume responsibility as capability is demonstrated. 

You will work hard, but you will love the work you do.  We will want those hired to begin work as soon as possible. 

Team

We work as a team.  Our firm presently has four attorneys.  This team works together to produce exceptional product and representation to our clients.  We pride ourselves on the quality of our work.
