Partner

Patent Litigation Partner

Firm
Regional firm
Market
Boston, MA

A patent litigation partner at a highly demanding firm was looking for a more sustainable workload without compromising on the quality of her practice. She had limited time to explore the market and was understandably selective about making a move. The search was managed discreetly, identifying a strong regional platform that offered the balance she was looking for.

An excellent fit, both professionally and personally.

Senior Associate

EE/CS Prosecution Senior Associate

Firm
Elite IP boutique
Market
Austin, TX

A prosecution associate with a semiconductor background wanted to stay technical rather than drift into management. We targeted boutiques where the senior attorneys still draft.

Took over a portfolio of chip clients on arrival.

Counsel

Trademark & Brand Counsel

Firm
Top-50 Am Law firm
Market
New York, NY

A trademark attorney at a boutique wanted the international reach of a larger platform without losing autonomy over her client relationships.

Moved with her clients, now running the brand practice.

Senior Associate

Incident Response Senior Associate

Firm
Global privacy practice
Market
Boston, MA

A privacy associate wanted to move from compliance advisory into live breach response, which meant finding a practice with genuine incident volume rather than a stated capability.

On the response rota within a month of joining.

Counsel

Data Governance Counsel

Firm
Top-50 Am Law firm
Market
San Francisco, CA

An in-house privacy lead wanted to return to private practice, a move most firms treat with suspicion at senior level. We positioned the in-house years as the asset they were.

Hired at counsel, advising the clients she used to sit alongside.

Special Counsel

State Privacy Special Counsel

Firm
Top-100 firm
Market
Los Angeles, CA

A specialist in the California regimes wanted a national platform as other states brought in their own rules.

Now leads the firm's multi-state privacy offering.
