I run Freshwater Counsel, a recruiting agency. To discuss a move you’re considering or a hire you’d like to make, contact me.
NEW I’m working on two unposted searches for two AmLaw 5 firms for midlevel patent litigators in both tech and life sciences. Large-cap and mid-cap clients, with district court, PTAB, and ITC disputes.
One of the strongest general practice firms for litigation is growing in LA, and they need product liability litigators of all seniorities. Real opportunity for trial. This practice is highly selective.
Unposted search with an AmLaw 40 firm in NYC for its financial services litigation group. This is unposted so that the firm can be selective with its hires. This practice has made laterals partners and is hiring from Cravath, Sullivan & Cromwell, Milbank, and other white shoe firms.
I’m working on an unposted search for an AmLaw 40 firm rapidly growing in San Francisco. It’s looking for a counsel for its VC practice, a strategic priority for the firm. Outstanding compensation and clientele, no expectation of business-development.
Energy transition work is in high demand in NYC, DC, and Houston. I’ve placed several lawyers in the last two months. I’m working closely with several firms that are growing rapidly and are willing to highly compensate talent.
Structured finance, secured finance, and capital markets are experiencing intense demand in NYC, Charlotte, Chicago, and DC. I have candidates actively interviewing at elite law firms. Some firms are hiring remotely.
