Own an entire practice area, not just a piece of it.

Soni & Soni Advocates & Attorneys, an IP law firm in Ahmedabad specializing in trademarks, copyrights, and patents, is looking for an experienced trademark professional to independently head our Opposition practice — from strategy and drafting to hearings and client communication.

This is a role for someone who wants ownership of a full function, not just assigned tasks — you will be the go-to person for every opposition matter that comes into the firm.

What You'll Be Doing
Handling the complete lifecycle of trademark opposition and rectification matters — from initial case assessment to final disposal
Drafting notices of opposition, counter-statements, evidence affidavits, and written submissions
Conducting legal research and building case strategy for each matter
Representing the firm at hearings before the Trademark Registry (in person or virtually)
Communicating directly with clients — explaining case status, strategy, risks, and next steps in explicit, non-technical language
Tracking deadlines and ensuring timely filings across all active opposition matters
Coordinating with junior associates or support staff on documentation and filings, as the team grows
Keeping clients updated proactively,



without needing to be chased for status updates

What We're Looking For
A qualified lawyer (LLB, Bar Council enrolled) with hands-on experience in trademark opposition and prosecution matters
Prior experience independently drafting opposition-related documents
Experience appearing at Trademark Registry hearings preferred
Robust written English — your drafting needs to hold up on its own
Comfortable speaking directly with clients and explaining legal matters clearly and confidently
Ability to manage multiple matters and deadlines independently, without close supervision
2+ years of relevant experience in trademark opposition/IP litigation support

Why Join Us
Full ownership of a practice area — this is a lead role, not a support role
Direct client exposure from day one, not filtered through senior associates
Work in a growing, boutique workplace where your work is visible and valued
Room to build and eventually lead a team as the opposition practice scales

Compensation: Based on experience — discussed transparently during the interview

If you're ready to run a practice area end-to-end, we'd love to meet you.

Work Location: In person
