patent prosecution lawyers mapped in New York

Sartori & Partners recruits Patent Prosecution lawyers in New York, drawing on a mapped field of 100+ practitioners whose work spans claim drafting, USPTO examination, inter partes review preparation, and portfolio-level prosecution strategy — a bench that reflects New York's role as a home market for the life sciences, financial technology, and media industries that generate the most contested patent portfolios. With 21 live mandates in this speciality and market right now, our coverage is active and current.

New York's Patent Prosecution talent sits in a specific structural configuration: a dense cluster of senior practitioners who built their practices inside full-service IP groups or boutiques, and a secondary tier of agents and associates whose technical credentials in chemistry, biotechnology, and electrical engineering give them value that moves across employer types. Senior prosecution counsel here do not circulate through the open market the way generalist associates do — they are approached directly, and the conversations that lead to a lateral move are almost always initiated by someone with standing knowledge of their work and reputation.

We recruit in this space because the quality of a prosecution hire is determined before the search ever reaches a candidate. Knowing who holds deep prosecution files in a given technology discipline, who has built prosecution histories that have withstood IPR challenge, and who is genuinely open to a move — that intelligence is what we bring to every Patent Prosecution mandate in New York. Clients receive practitioners selected on substance; candidates receive mandates that fit the practice they have spent years building.

How does Sartori & Partners find Patent Prosecution candidates in New York who are not actively looking?

The senior Patent Prosecution practitioners in New York who represent the strongest lateral candidates are rarely visible through conventional channels. Our approach is to map the bench in advance — tracking practitioners by technology discipline, prosecution history depth, seniority, and employer type — so that when a mandate opens we already know who fits. We initiate direct, confidential conversations grounded in genuine knowledge of a practitioner's work, which is why those approaches are taken seriously rather than dismissed.

We currently have 21 live patent prosecution roles in New York, spanning 2 partner-level and 19 associate or counsel positions. Most mandates in this market are handled confidentially — these are the roles we are in a position to share openly.
