- Technology Transactions (Life Sciences) Associate role at Fenwick & West

Fenwick & West handles complex, innovative technology transactions for some of the most prominent life sciences and technology companies in the United States and abroad. Our technology transactions group also works closely with our corporate group, which is consistently ranked as one of the top Startup & Venture Capital, IPO and M&A practices in the United States, as well as our leading life sciences patent prosecution practice.

We are currently seeking associates with two (2) to four (4) years of licensing / collaboration and commercial partnering transactions experience for our growing life sciences technology transactions practice. The ideal candidate will have substantial law firm experience representing biotechs and big pharmas as they license patents and collaborate to advance novel therapeutics, vaccines, diagnostic and digital health technologies through clinical trials and toward regulatory (FDA) approval.

Experience working with AI-native or AI-driven biotechnology companies—particularly those integrating artificial intelligence or machine learning into drug discovery, diagnostics, or life sciences R&D—is a plus. This is an ideal position for candidates seeking to work closely with founders developing cutting edge technologies and negotiate complex standalone commercial transactions that transform both the technologies and participants. The position also suits those desiring both life sciences and broader tech exposure.

Superior academic credentials, excellent oral, written and interpersonal skills required.

We require that the candidate must be barred in the state of the office they are submitting their application for or are eligible to sit/waive into the next bar exam.

To apply, please complete our online application and include a cover letter, resume, and law school transcript. Agency recruiters: please submit separately via your agency's Workday portal.

At Fenwick, we believe that our partners and employees are our most important asset. Helping you and your families achieve and maintain good health - physical, emotional, and financial - is the reason we offer a comprehensive benefit program. We provide benefits to eligible employees under plans such as Healthcare, Life Insurance, Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Wellbeing.

The anticipated range for this position is $235,000 - $310,000 depending on role, qualifications, experience, education, certifications or other professional licenses held, and optionally location.

A discretionary bonus for eligible employees may also be available based on performance. Additional information about employee eligibility for benefits and discretionary bonus will be made available upon request.
