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.
NEW I’m working on an unposted search for an AmLaw 5 firm for midlevel patent litigators in both tech and life sciences. Large-cap and mid-cap clients, with district court, PTAB, and ITC disputes.
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.
I’m working on an unposted search for an elite litigation boutique in LA. You should have solid experience as a patent litigator but have an interest in high-stakes copyright and trademark disputes. Powerhouse team with great culture.
Energy transition work is in extraordinary 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.
