Introducing Khurram’s Forum
After experimenting with hundreds of LinkedIn posts, I’ve discovered the topics that lawyers are most interested in. But I didn't have a way to connect the dots between posts to discuss running themes, or go deeper into topics.
That’s why I’ve started Khurram’s Forum. A weekly newsletter with strategies and values for a happy legal career. I'm honored to have earned your attention, and I'm looking forward to going deeper with you. This newsletter isn’t for everyone, it’s for anyone who wants to explore autonomy, experimentation, and longevity.
The first issue is about the secret career insight in a game show puzzle. Subscribe and follow along.
Khurram’s List
I run Freshwater Counsel, a recruiting agency. To discuss a move you’re considering or a hire you’d like to make, contact me. If you’re not right for a role but a colleague might be, forward this to them.
In-House
A ~$1 billion publicly traded solar company based in Stamford, CT is looking for an Associate General Counsel with experience in corporate or commercial matters. Experience in M&A, structured finance, or consumer law is valuable. I placed this company’s first AGC.
Law Firm
I’m working on an unlisted search for an AmLaw 50 firm. The patent litigation practice is growing rapidly servicing large-cap tech companies. The firm is looking for two 3rd-year associates, two 6th-year associates, and an 8th-year associate. This is a unique opportunity to grow a patent practice at a prestige brand.
I’m working with my former firm Goodwin on these key searches:
Life Science Corporate Midlevel Associate: join a Band 1 practice and work on the highest-stakes life science transactions. NYC.
IP Litigation Associate: represent growing tech companies in bet-the-company disputes - trade secrets, patent, and more.
Employment Midlevel Associate: represent growing and large-cap tech and life sciences companies in high-stakes disputes and compliance matters.
Antitrust Associate, all levels: this is a rare opportunity to build out the antitrust practice at a premiere private equity and M&A firm.
Moving from biglaw to an elite litigation boutique? Let’s discuss these clients that are hiring.
