INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
IP is one of the most technically varied practice areas in US law — and the lateral market rewards genuine depth.
IP lateral moves are more technical than most. Patent prosecution and litigation require different backgrounds entirely, and firms are highly specific about what they need. We work across patent prosecution, patent litigation, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, and IP transactional work. San Francisco and New York are the two primary markets, with San Francisco particularly active for tech and life sciences-focused IP practices.
A short, confidential conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Reach out and we'll take it from there.
CONFIDENTIALITY COMMITMENT
Your current employer will never be contacted. Your name goes nowhere without your permission. You can stop the process at any point.
WHAT FIRMS TYPICALLY LOOK FOR
Technical background
Patent roles almost always require a hard science or engineering degree.
Subspecialty
Prosecution vs litigation vs transactional — firms are specific.
Industry focus
Tech, pharma, biotech, med devices — sector experience matters significantly.
Market
San Francisco dominant for tech IP. New York strong for pharma and transactional IP.
