How do you source intellectual property lawyers specifically in New York?
Our research function continuously maps the New York IP talent pool — tracking practitioners across prosecution, litigation, and licensing disciplines. Because we work this market directly rather than relying on inbound applications, we can surface candidates whose profiles match a mandate precisely, including those not actively circulating.
What makes the New York intellectual property market distinctive for lateral hiring?
New York IP work spans an unusually broad range — from high-stakes patent and copyright litigation tied to the Southern District, to sophisticated licensing and transactional work serving media, finance, and life sciences companies that operate in the city. A lateral move here often requires matching not just technical domain but the specific commercial context a practice group handles.
Can you place intellectual property candidates at in-house legal teams, not just law firms?
Yes. Our New York IP mapping covers both private practice and in-house roles. Companies that operate in New York across technology, entertainment, pharma, and financial services maintain significant IP functions, and we recruit across both channels depending on where the right opportunity sits for a given candidate.
