This remains an active confidential search at partner level. The mandate is reviewed on a rolling basis with the client, and the description below is the current version.

Senior litigation partner role for an established US firm’s Washington, DC office, focused on life‑sciences and technology patent disputes. The position will handle Hatch‑Waxman matters, patent infringement cases, trade‑secret litigation and selected technology disputes (including semiconductor matters).

Ideal for a partner with an active life‑sciences and technology litigation practice who can work with pharmaceutical, biosimilars and Asia‑linked technology clients. The team prioritizes branded‑side work; experience or interest on the generic side is not a fit.

  • Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
  • Proven partner‑level experience in patent litigation, including Hatch‑Waxman and trade‑secret matters
  • Demonstrable client relationships and business development in life sciences, pharma or biosimilars
  • Experience with technology disputes, preferably including semiconductor work and cross‑border matters involving China/Taiwan

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