Senior Trademark Paralegal

Senior Trademark Paralegal
Dallas, TX (Hybrid, 4 Days On-Site) — $110K–$120K
About the Firm
Our client is one of the fastest-growing law firms in the Am Law 100, with more than 700 lawyers across 19 offices in the U.S., London, Mexico City, and Shanghai. Its trademark practice manages complete global portfolios for some of the most recognized brands in the world — a book of business so significant the firm restructured its legal support operations to serve it. Headquartered in a new 27-story tower in uptown Dallas, the firm pairs big-firm sophistication with a collegial culture recognized as an industry leader for workplace wellbeing.
About the Role
This is a high-visibility seat supporting two trademark partners with significant autonomy and direct client interaction. You will run U.S. and foreign prosecution end to end — TEAS filings, specimens and first-use follow-up, office actions, foreign counsel instruction, and docket management from application through registration and renewal — plus clearance searches, enforcement support, and client reporting.
What You'll Need

• 5 years of dedicated trademark paralegal experience at a law firm
• Trademark-only background — this role is not a fit for patent or mixed-IP practice
• Full-cycle U.S. prosecution: TEAS, office actions, specimens, renewals; strong TMEP command
• Foreign prosecution: Madrid Protocol/WIPO, instructing foreign counsel, notarization/legalization
• Proficiency with IP docketing systems (PATTSY, CPI, or similar); clearance search experience
• Polished written communication and client-facing presence; works independently under deadlines
• ABA-approved paralegal certificate or bachelor's degree
