Intellectual Property
IP litigation laterals, recruited nationwide.
Patent cases, PTAB proceedings, and trade secret disputes each rely on a different mix of technical and trial skills.
The Search
Technology and docket.
Lateral Lock looks at your technical background alongside your cases: the technologies, the forums, and the parts of each case you handled, from claim construction to trial.
- Matching your background.A patent-trial record, from claim construction through trial, is screened differently from a PTAB record of petitions and technical argument, and a trade-secret docket is screened differently again. We target IP litigation teams where that mix fits the work.
- Firm-by-firm research.We review each group's platform, work mix, clients, offices, and trajectory.
- Your matters, accurately.We shape the resume so each case is accurate and ordered the way that IP group reads a docket: technology, forum, then your role. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. A short cover letter leads with the experience that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
- Confidential process.Introductions go out only with your consent. We prepare you for interviews and help negotiate the offer.
