Built for Established IP Practitioners
This opportunity is primarily intended for experienced intellectual property attorneys with established client relationships who are beginning to think about the next stage of their practice.
The Attorneys We’re Hoping to Hear From
There is no single background that fits. What tends to matter more than title or firm size is the practice itself — whether it reflects years of client trust, consistent work, and a reputation an attorney has reason to be careful with.
In practice, that has included:
- Solo IP attorneys with an established, recurring practice
- Partners at smaller firms considering a different structure
- Patent prosecutors with longstanding corporate clients
- Trademark and IP practitioners with recurring portfolio work
- Attorneys planning a transition several years in advance
- Attorneys who want to keep practicing without continuing to run a firm
- Patent agents with an established client base, where appropriate
Fit Matters More Than Fit of Skill Set
We are selective because client fit, professional reputation, practice quality, and long-term compatibility matter to everyone involved — the attorney, the clients, and the firm. A transition works best when there is a real, established practice to transition, and when the attorney’s reputation and working style fit well with an IP-focused platform built for the long term.
This is not a general employment posting, and it is not intended for attorneys who are simply looking for their next position. If that describes where you are, this likely is not the right conversation — and we would rather say so plainly than waste your time.
Where This Tends to Fit Well
Patent Prosecution & Strategy
Established filing relationships, portfolio management, and ongoing counsel to inventors and companies.
Trademark Practice
Recurring brand portfolios, prosecution, and long-term counsel relationships with business clients.
IP Transactions & Counseling
Licensing, assignments, and general IP counsel built on years of client relationships.
General IP practices and combinations of the above are also welcome. If you are unsure whether your practice fits, the most reliable way to find out is a conversation, not a guess from this page.
If This Sounds Like Your Practice
The best way to find out whether there is a fit is a confidential conversation — not an application, and not a commitment.
