Holland & Hart- Trademark Associate Attorney – Boulder, CO, or Salt Lake City, UT (other offices considered)

Holland & Hart’s trademark group (Colorado’s only “Gold Band” ranked practice by World Trademark Review) is seeking an associate with at least two years of trademark experience to join our trademark prosecution team in our Boulder, Colorado or Salt Lake City, Utah offices. Other Holland & Hart office locations will be considered on a case by case basis. 

Requirements: 
Ideal candidates should have experience with trademark searching, search review, global trademark strategy development, and domestic and international trademark prosecution. While the primary focus of this position will be non-contentious work, experience in trademark enforcement, online enforcement, including drafting demand letters, notice and take-down requests, online marketplace monitoring, TTAB proceedings, and UDRP proceedings is a plus. Candidates must also demonstrate superior writing and communication skills. Foreign language skills are not required but highly valued.  

Candidates should appreciate a fast-paced and team-centric environment that encourages collaboration and disfavors hierarchical practices. We welcome candidates who will (quietly or boldly – all Myer’s Briggs personalities welcome) remain themselves and contribute to elevating our client service standards. We are committed to efficiently delivering practical, pithy, and 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.

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.
