Partner, Intellectual Property Litigation — Sacramento

A partner-level appointment on this brief is decided by what the practice can carry across, far more than on any headline figure.

Senior litigation partner role in a large, national firm seeking an experienced IP litigator to lead and grow patent litigation work from the Sacramento office. The role will handle high-stakes patent disputes across federal courts and coordinate with cross-office teams on complex infringement matters.

Success in this role requires proven courtroom experience, strong client-management skills, and the ability to originate and expand client relationships. The position offers a leadership opportunity within an established IP litigation practice and frequent collaboration with specialists across related practices.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Established partner-level patent litigation experience with trial and motion experience in federal courts
• Demonstrable record of business origination and client relationship development
• Ability to lead teams, supervise associates, and collaborate across practices
• Active bar admission in the relevant jurisdiction or willingness to obtain admission

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
