A lateral partner hire on this brief is decided by what the practice can carry across, not on a headline number.

We are seeking a lateral partner to join a leading international law firm's San Diego office, focusing on the intersection of technology, media and entertainment, intellectual property, and antitrust and competition law.

The practice serves clients across key industries including private equity, life sciences, technology, and energy, with a strong emphasis on patent litigation involving life sciences and technology, as well as antitrust litigation tied to private equity matters.

This is a partner-level role for an attorney with an established practice and a genuine interest in growing a dynamic, cross-disciplinary book of business within a globally recognized platform.

Partner-level experience in technology transactions, patent litigation, and/or antitrust and competition matters
Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
Admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction
Strong academic credentials and a track record of client development

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is usually still worth talking — partner briefs move with the candidate.
