A lateral partner hire in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

Our firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its Intellectual Property practice, focusing on the life sciences sector. The role blends transactional and IP/patent work for clients in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and related fields.

The successful candidate will advise life sciences companies on strategic IP portfolio management, licensing, collaborations, and other commercial transactions, and will have the opportunity to work closely with a multidisciplinary team.

This is a partner-level position based in Dallas, offering a platform for a self-driven lawyer to grow a practice within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Admission to practice law in the relevant jurisdiction
Significant experience in life sciences IP and transactional matters
Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships and lead complex deals

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is usually still worth talking — these mandates flex around the right practice.
