Managing Director | Whistler Partners | Legal Recruitment

As a junior to mid-level associate, you’ll work with global brands, high-growth companies, and creative powerhouses—building a career in trademark law with meaningful mentorship, unmatched client access, and real lifestyle balance.

Why This Role Catalyzes Your Growth

• Elite Clients, Real Engagement:

From iconic fashion houses to major media groups and global tech platforms, you’ll advise the brands that shape culture—often with direct client contact from day one.

This team has been the bridge for attorneys to in-house legal roles at companies like Google, Disney, the NBA, Estée Lauder, and Hulu.

• Accelerated Partnership Track:

The firm promotes based on performance, not politics or originations. Associates have made partner in as little as five years—with 20% origination credit from the start.

• Flexible, Modern Culture:

Remote August, additional remote flexibility around holidays, and a collaborative atmosphere where talent is nurtured—not burned out.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3–5 years of law firm experience in trademark clearance, prosecution, counseling, and enforcement
• Bonus: Experience with TTAB proceedings, licensing, copyright, international marks, or advertising law
• Client-focused communicator with high EQ and commercial instincts
• Strong legal writer with meticulous attention to detail
• Admitted to practice in New York

Compensation

• Competitive with top law firms
• Bonus eligibility at 1,800 hours
• Full benefits and origination credit from day one

Matchmakers, Not Headhunters

Whistler Partners is a boutique matchmaking firm focused on counseling the best and the brightest attorneys over the course of their careers. We believe that the right move comes from working closely with talent to curate their long-term career paths. When it comes to career advice, what matters is not the size of the agency but the strength of your individual recruiter.

We readily admit that we are elite and only work with the best – after all, a little elitism is okay when it comes to your career. Employers love us because we are picky about whom we represent, and attorneys love us because we get them their dream jobs.
