A lateral partner hire on this brief turns on the portability of the practice, more than on any single number.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Extensive IP litigation experience, including federal court and trial exposure
Proven client-development and rainmaking track record
Admissions to practice in relevant US jurisdictions

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