I’m considering switching into a “soft” IP transactional law practice at a large NY law firm (when the market improves). I currently work in corporate at a large NY firm and am curious what the day-to-day looks like (filings, etc.). If anybody can speak from experience I’d love to learn. Thank you!

Switching to a "soft" IP transactional law practice can be a good move if you're interested in intellectual property. Day-to-day work includes drafting agreements, advising on IP strategy, conducting due diligence, and filing trademark/copyright applications. Reach out to attorneys in this field and do some research to learn more.

Additional Posts in Corporate Transactional Law

I have an asset purchase of a retail store transaction. Seller is keeping the second location. Seller is licensing the name from the buyer. The licensing agreement is supposed to contain provisions so that the seller cannot offer promotions or discounts that the buyer does not also offer (i.e., seller cannot undercut buyer's pricing). I know very little about antitrust. Can anyone give me some suggestions how to enforceably draft this agreement, or is this arrangement impossible?

I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
