Brinks Gilson & Lione follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.

Hiring Criteria

Brinks Gilson & Lione is seeking law students interested in practicing intellectual property law with one of the most prominent firms of this specialty in the country. Successful applicants for summer associate and associate positions will have excellent academic performance in both undergraduate and law school (usually top 25% of class), and demonstrate outstanding oral and written communication skills. Participation in extra-curricular activities (law review, other law journals, moot court, and other organizations) is highly desirable. Litigation-related coursework and other forms of recognition and awards are also relevant.

For our patent practice, which comprises the majority of our hiring, we require a technical undergraduate degree in, for example, engineering, chemistry, physics, computer science, or biotechnology. We are interviewing second and third-year students with technical backgrounds in one or more of these areas.

For our trademark practice, we are seeking second and third-year students with liberal arts or business degrees who have a strong interest in specializing in this area of law.

Pro bono

Brinks Gilson & Lione has a firm-wide commitment to pro bono work. Recognizing that our attorneys have a professional responsibility to contribute time, skills, and other resources to provide necessary legal services to members of the public who could not otherwise afford them, we formally organized and approved a written pro bono policy in 2001 emphasizing that service to persons of limited means is the essence of pro bono. - See more at: http://www.brinksgilson.com/about.aspx#sthash.sB2ExbN4.dpuf
