An appointment at partner level in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

We are seeking a lateral partner to join a thriving litigation platform, with a focus on antitrust and competition matters and patent litigation. The role offers a broad, cross-disciplinary practice that spans complex commercial disputes, government-facing antitrust work, and high-stakes IP enforcement.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record advising clients in key industries, including private equity, life sciences, and technology. The patent litigation component emphasizes the life sciences and technology sectors, while the antitrust practice frequently intersects with private equity clients and their portfolio companies.

This is a partner-level opportunity for an attorney with an established practice and a demonstrated ability to generate and sustain a portable book of business. The platform supports collaborative, multi-office teams and offers a competitive, open compensation structure.

  • Admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction(s)
  • Significant experience in antitrust and competition litigation and/or patent litigation
  • Demonstrated client following and ability to sustain a portable practice
  • Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
  • Strong academic credentials and a record of success in complex litigation

Discussions are held in confidence and your name reaches no one without your say-so.
