Working with the firm

Collaboration & Careers

Nowak IP Group builds matter-specific teams for each engagement. The firm works with experienced IP litigators, of-counsel attorneys, and senior litigation professionals who share its approach to client service.

How the firm works

Nowak IP Group is a boutique litigation practice based in Washington, D.C. The firm assembles lean, matter-specific teams built around the demands of each engagement. Every matter is led by principal counsel, supported by professionals selected for their specific expertise and their fit with the client relationship.

This model allows the firm to work with highly experienced practitioners across jurisdictions and specialties — without the overhead or hierarchy of a large firm. It's a collaborative, tech-enabled environment where judgment, clear writing, and practical advocacy matter more than tenure.

  • Experienced IP litigators with trademark, design patent, or trade dress focus.
  • Attorneys with backgrounds in brand protection, anti-counterfeiting, or online marketplace enforcement.
  • Of-counsel lawyers interested in flexible, matter-based collaboration.
  • Senior IP paralegals or litigation support professionals who thrive in lean, hands-on teams.
  • Sound judgment and the ability to communicate clearly and practically.
  • Substantial experience in IP disputes, enforcement programs, or counseling.
  • Comfort with remote collaboration and modern workflows.
  • A low-ego, client-first approach to teamwork.

The firm does not post formal openings on a regular basis, but is always open to hearing from experienced professionals whose practice aligns with its focus. If that describes you, please reach out.
