A highly regarded international law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its litigation platform in San Francisco. The role brings together antitrust and competition work with sophisticated patent litigation, offering a broad contentious practice at the intersection of technology and regulation.

The position sits within a collaborative team advising clients across private equity, life sciences and technology, and energy sectors. A significant portion of the patent litigation work focuses on life sciences and technology matters, while the antitrust practice is closely tied to private equity clients and their portfolio activity.

This is an open compensation opportunity for an experienced partner looking to build on an established practice within a strong national and cross-border platform.

  • Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
  • Admission to practice in the relevant US jurisdiction
  • Significant partner-level experience in antitrust and/or patent litigation
  • Demonstrated business development capability and an established client base

If the fit is not obvious on paper, a conversation is still worth having — these mandates flex around the right practice.
