This remains an active confidential partner search. The mandate is reviewed on a rolling basis with the client, and what follows is the current brief.

Established, full-equity partnership opportunity for a senior lawyer to join and grow corporate, intellectual property (including patent and IP litigation) and litigation capabilities from the firm's Winston-Salem office. The role prioritizes candidates with a significant portable client base and a track record of originating and leading matters across M&A, corporate governance and contentious IP work.

The firm is especially focused on expanding its southeastern footprint but remains open to candidates from other U.S. offices. Partners hired into this role will be expected to collaborate across offices, support business development, and, where relevant, help establish or grow a local office presence.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Established partner-level experience in M&A, corporate governance, or IP litigation
Proven origination and client-development record with a portable client base
Ability to work collaboratively across offices and assist with regional growth or new-office initiatives

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is still worth a conversation — these mandates flex around the right practice.
