Let’s Talk About: A Day in the Life of an IP Associate & Year 1 Lessons
Ep. 4 I get asked, "what does your day-to-day look like?" by students all of the time. It's not a bad question, it's just impossible to answer sometimes.
In this episode, we're taking about the realities of working as a newly-barred, remote IP associate—what my responsibilities look like, how my tasks shift from day to day, and why no two weeks ever feel the same.
I also reflect on my first year of practice—what I learned and advice I'd give to law students stepping into their first associate role.
Whether you’re in law school, thinking about a career in IP law, or just curious about what young lawyers actually do, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the transition from law student to practicing attorney.
