Practice Areas
We represent all levels of elite associates in the quest to advance their partnership tracks. Over 90% move upward in the partnership ranks, and many never leave the firms where we placed them.
Our approach
Traditional legal recruiting revolves around the best interests of law firms, with recruiters servicing and representing them rather than the associate. Rossi IP moved away from that practice.
We represent attorneys and work tirelessly to locate career opportunities that meet their short-term and long-term goals, testing the entire IP marketplace discreetly, without ever exposing the identity of the attorney.
Confidentiality
Masking your identity during the search lets us be strategic and selective, bypassing opportunities that do not match your aspirations.
We can vet the marketplace multiple times and not stop at one offer, working to secure several and the best possible fit.
What we negotiate
Identify competencies required to become a partner
Set a specific time frame for transition into the partnership
Make sure partners provide the work necessary for development
A small budget for new business development
Above-market compensation, including a sign-on bonus
Credit for education and business development

origination credit
Results
These are more than goals. In previous placements we have negotiated salaries above lock-step, the elimination of lock-step, sign-on bonuses, origination credit and credit toward partnership consideration.
We also run in-house searches for qualified attorneys, and only for positions with a trajectory into management.
