An appointment at partner level of this kind is decided by what the practice can carry across, not on a headline number.

Senior partner role to lead and grow an intellectual property and patent litigation practice in the firm's Philadelphia office. The position will focus on managing high-stakes patent disputes, advising sophisticated clients on IP strategy, and leading trial and appellate matters.

The office is expanding and seeks a partner with a track record of originating and managing complex IP litigation, experience supervising teams of associates, and the ability to develop client relationships across sectors. The role offers a leadership platform within a national litigation practice.

  • Portable book of business of $1.5M+ (USD)
  • Proven trial and patent-litigation experience, including Federal court and ITC practice experience preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to originate and develop client relationships and to lead a team of associates
  • Active bar admission and good standing in PA (or eligibility to transfer)

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