Are you ready to get the Easygo Edge?
Brand protection at our scale isn't paperwork. It's a global portfolio moving at the speed of digital entertainment. We're after an IP lawyer with a genuine specialisation and a real interest in the field, ready to keep pace. If you take the initiative, thrive on complexity and back yourself to find the fix, this one's for you.
What you’ll build with us:
Alongside senior counsel, you'll help protect the brands behind Kick and Stake. Steer the global trade mark portfolio from filing to registration, take on oppositions, enforcement and disputes as they land and run clearance on new names, logos and campaigns before they go live. Add instructing foreign associates across jurisdictions and drafting the commercial contracts the business runs on, and no two matters look the same.
We know that innovation ignites when we build and create together, in person. This is a full-time opportunity at our Melbourne office. You’ll work right where it all happens, surrounded by our fearless crew shipping high-impact work.
