Draft legal documents and correspondence such as cease-and-desist letters, affidavits/declarations, agreements, powers of attorney, and chain-of-title records.

Collaborate closely with legal leadership to develop best practices and shape team operations.

Install and maintain trademark and other databases and manage Versant's IP database vendors.

The Qualifications

Paralegal certificate, or other equivalent education.

4+ years experience as a paralegal in trademarks or broader IP.

Experience with trademark docketing systems (e.g., Anaqua) and search platforms (e.g., SAEGIS).

Expertise in the U.S. and international trademark processes and legal frameworks.

Ability to see around the corners, and experience evaluating risk with imperfect information and have the confidence to make quick decisions.

Ability to work effectively and collaboratively cross-functionally, thing pragmatically and be solution-oriented.

A proactive, curious, and adaptable attitude.

Knowledge of the media industry is a plus.

Key Details

Versant offers a hybrid work model, with a minimum of three days per week in-office (Universal City, CA).

This position is eligible for a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k), and access to a range of other employee perks. Salary range: $90,000 - $105,000.
