Job description

Fast-Growing AmLaw Firm | Nationwide Platform

We are representing a fast-growing AmLaw firm actively building a national intellectual property platform across patent prosecution, IP litigation, life sciences, and technology transactions. The firm is making significant strategic investments in lateral partners and groups who want a scalable platform, stronger economics, and real institutional support for growing sophisticated IP practices.

This is a growth-driven opportunity for partners who want more than just overhead — it is built for IP rainmakers who want cross-selling, premium clients, and a firm that actively invests in their success.

The Platform

The firm represents technology companies, life sciences innovators, venture-backed startups, and Fortune-level enterprises across the full spectrum of IP and technology matters. The IP practice integrates seamlessly with corporate, M&A, private equity, regulatory, and litigation teams, allowing partners to expand wallet share and capture larger, more complex engagements.

The platform supports matters including:

• IP litigation (patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright)
• Technology licensing, SaaS, and data transactions
• IP due diligence for M&A, financings, and investments
• Life sciences, biotech, pharma, and med-tech IP
• Cross-border and international IP strategy

Who They’re Looking For

The firm is seeking partners — and partner groups — with:

• A portable book of business
• Practices in patents, IP litigation, life sciences, technology, or IP transactions
• Interest in a platform that delivers real growth, not just a desk and a logo

Portable Books typically start in the at $750K, with flexibility based on synergies, trajectory, and expansion potential.

Why Partners Make This Move

This firm offers:

• AmLaw-level sophistication with entrepreneurial economics
• National footprint with flexible office alignment
• True cross-selling across corporate, PE, litigation, and regulatory
• Real marketing and business-development infrastructure
• Leadership opportunities to help shape the IP platform

Partners join because they want more leverage, more referrals, and more upside — without the bureaucracy.

Explore Confidentially

All conversations are handled in strict confidence.

If you are exploring a platform that offers better economics, institutional clients, and a serious commitment to IP growth, we welcome a discreet discussion.
