The work relates primarily to patent preparation and prosecution, patent opinions (patentability, freedom to operate, validity, infringement, enforceability), and due diligence relating to US patents. This will include primarily US-based clients, but will also include some work for foreign clients needing prosecution in the US.
Since this firm also deals with foreign filings, any international experience would be a plus. This is a very collegial environment, and you will deal directly with a variety of clients at all levels, thus you will need to have solid social and communication skills.
