Hello You've landed on this page, which means you're interested in working with us. Let's take a sneak peek at what it's like to work at Innovaccer.

**Legal at Innovaccer**

The legal team at our organization has a range of responsibilities, including analyzing business requirements to ensure legal compliance, managing contracts, identifying and mitigating legal risks, and more. As a member of our collaborative and dynamic team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to these efforts and take the next step in your career.

**About the Role**

The Expert IP Lawyer will serve as a strategic legal and innovation partner to our product, engineering, clinical, and executive teams, driving the end-to-end intellectual property strategy across India, the U.S., and global jurisdictions. You will lead efforts to protect our innovations in AI-driven software, connected medical devices, and digital healthcare platforms, ensuring they are legally sound, globally protected, and strategically aligned with our business objectives.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of law, technology, and healthcare, requiring both legal expertise in the U.S. (including India and UAE) IP systems and strong technical fluency. You must be able to understand and evaluate complex technologies — including AI/ML algorithms, embedded systems, data platforms, and clinical software — and translate them into actionable IP frameworks.

You will play a central role in shaping how we develop, protect, and scale innovation, advising on patentability, trade secrets, licensing, enforcement, and regulatory alignment. As a cross-functional leader, you will collaborate across teams to embed IP thinking into product development processes, streamline invention disclosure and filing strategies, and align legal protections with evolving product and commercial roadmaps.
