Mallesons Stephen Jaques Solicitor - 4 year to Senior Associate IPT (Litigation)
We are looking for an experienced lawyer who is about to become, or is already a senior associate, to join the IP litigation practice of our dynamic Intellectual Property & Technology (“IPT”) team. You will be an experienced IP litigator (potentially with experience in general commercial litigation) who is looking for the challenges and opportunities our highly regarded practice can provide you. Alternatively, you are a general litigator keen for the challenge of developing a new expertise. Other lawyers respect you for your legal excellence and matter management skills, and you are now at the stage where supervising more junior lawyers comes naturally. Clients enjoy working and socialising with you.
You are likely to have had exposure to litigation involving issues concerning one or more of section 52 of the Trade Practices Act and passing off, trade marks law, copyright law, defamation law, domain name disputes or patent law. Issues associated with brand protection and marketing fascinate you, and you follow industry developments closely or would like to do so. You are passionate about working on contentious matters (even those not strictly IP related). You thrive on being part of a committed team working on large scale, cutting edge litigation. However, you also enjoy day to day matters, including preparing or supervising letters of demand, and advising clients on matters likely to have contentious elements.
You will have:
* excellent analytical, drafting, communication and research skills
* initiative and strong commitment to client service
* team focus with some supervisory experience
* strong skills in managing litigation matters both large and small
* good commercial judgment and attention to detail
* enthusiasm to be involved in business development activities.
The IPT team covers a range of contentious and non-contentious legal work in both IT and IP areas. We work collaboratively across the IT and IP parts of the practice to achieve the best results for our clients. We pride ourselves on our teamwork and friendly working environment. In this role you will work closely with Natalie Hickey, partner in the team.
What we offer:
You will be involved in varied, challenging, complex legal work which often sets the benchmark in the industry and work with an enviable range of clients. We have a commitment to developing the careers of our people and will provide first-class on-the-job training and exposure to top work. We offer flexible working practices to help you meet your work, family and lifestyle commitments. You will have great mentoring from senior lawyers and partners and work in a friendly, supportive environment. For further information on this role, please contact James Pfahl on james.pfahl@mallesons.com.

Jani McCutheon - Copyright protection for fictional literary characters
Copyright protection for fictional literary characters - Jani McCutcheon, Lecturer at the University of Western Australia Law School, critically explores how Australian copyright law governs the competing interests of authors seeking to control how others use their fictional literary characteres, and writers who wish to re-visit those characters in their new works.
“In her Pulitzer prize-winning novel, March, Australian author Geraldine Brooks ‘appropriates’ the father from Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, Little Women and imagines his story in her new fictional setting. If Little Women were still protected by copyright, could - and should - Alcott or her heirs control Brooks’ use of her character under Australian law?”
“Shakespeare has been re-written and Shakespeare himself re-wrote earlier classic tales. The advent of the Internet has fueld character recycling and reinvention, spawning hundreds of thousands of works of self-published “fan fiction”, most of which is based on characters in popular television shows or movies such as Star Trek and Star Wars, but also popular novels such as the Harry Potter series.”
