Job Title: Partner (Corporate/IP law)
Location: Manhattan (NY) or NJ (Morris County)
Salary: $300,000+
Increase your chances of an interview by reading the following overview of this role before making an application.
I'm working exclusively with a well-regarded, independent New York and New Jersey firm on a search for an IP Partner. It's a 170+ Attorney platform with a strong name in the market, no debt, and a partnership culture built around letting rainmakers run their own book.
The opportunity
The firm has just brought in a Hatch-Waxman litigation Partner and is looking to build a broader IP offering around them. They'll consider either a Corporate IP Partner (licensing, IP transactions, tech and life sciences-adjacent work), or a IP Litigator (patent, trademark, copyright or trade secrets outside of Hatch-Waxman).
The New Jersey office is in a new, modern space with room to grow, and there's a lot of appetite to fill it. The firm is open to a Northern NJ or New York base, and a group would be welcome.
Why this stands out
- No billable hour requirements for partners
- No expense budgets and no policing of your business development. You're trusted to invest in your own clients
- A clear route from non-equity draw to equity for partners who hit their originations
- A cross-selling platform with strong real estate, lending, litigation and insurance relationships to tap into
- Financially conservative and debt-free, so you're not exposed to the swings you see at leveraged firms
Who I'm looking for
- J.D. + Admitted to practice in NY/NJ, Partner-level IP Attorney with a portable book of business
- Corporate IP or IP litigation experience (non-Hatch-Waxman preferred for litigators)
- Entrepreneurial, and someone who wants to run their own practice rather than sit inside a rigid structure
- Small groups considered, and the firm can build out associate support around the right book
This will suit partners at boutiques and mid-size firms who want a bigger platform without the rigidity of Big Law. Everything is handled in complete confidence. xhqgsiq If it's not for you but you know someone it would suit, we'd appreciate the introduction.
