Where Partner Moves Really Happen
practice groups now serving IP across Am Law and middle-market firms
Over the past decade, the number of large and small IP group mergers has been unprecedented. Our organization has been heavily involved in many of them, some of the largest in IP history.
Prior to 2000, IP partnership lateral movement was nearly nonexistent. What movement did occur grew out of prior relationships between partners. That still happens, but after the major boutiques merged with general practice firms in the mid to late 2000s, the number of general practice firms servicing IP surged to over 350 practice groups among the Am Law and middle-market firms.
Today’s savvy partners realize that the best deal may lie outside the circle of their relationships. With so many firms now servicing IP, shopping the marketplace is more complex than ever, and it is not easy to identify and vet firms and judge whether they can offer competitive deals to build a group.
The firms of yesterday and today may not be tomorrow’s firm leaders. We have the recruiting knowledge and operational infrastructure to vet this on behalf of the attorney we represent.

We Exclusively Service IP
We have developed an operational system that has moved away from traditional partnership lateral recruiting. Our methodologies let us shop the marketplace on behalf of the attorneys we represent, without compromising their identity, and reach straight to the power base of a law firm.
Those we represent bring their reputation, expertise and philosophy into new firms with similar goals, strengthening both sides in the IP marketplace.
