Los Angeles
Securities and White Collar Litigation Chair
Dynamic national firm with a growing global practice, and one we have placed several partners with. This firm, more effectively balances people and profits than almost any firm we’ve ever worked with. They are looking for a litigation partner to lead and help grow their West Coast securities and white-collar litigation practice. The opportunity to exploit long-term client relationships is superb. Because of overflow litigation, a practice that is "bursting at the seams" and terrific clients, they are also looking for outstanding partners in complex business and class action litigation. Preferred book: $1.5M – although will also evaluate the last few years.

Los Angeles
Climate change – renewable and alternative energy – green technology
This firm is one of the most recession proof firms we have worked with. Their growing L.A. office is barely keeping up with their London, Dubai, Washington D.C., New York and Moscow offices – and then some. What is perhaps more impressive than their growth and rising profitability is the people – some we have worked with for several years. The culture is the anti "sharp-elbows" firm. They have assembled a terrific group.

This firm has exclusively retained Esquire to handle non-contingency searches in litigation, project finance and real estate/corporate practices. The L.A. office is almost all transactional (with spin-off litigation matters) and is looking for the right person to lead and/or play a key role in the growth of a complex litigation practice. The ideal partner will have a self-sufficient practice but also be interested in cross-selling with the firm’s energy, climate change, alternative energy clients, "green" technology and other corporate clients. This firm has one of the top renewable energy practices in the nation. We see a number of client relationships that can be leveraged. In addition, a litigator with an entrepreneurial spark and instinct to build would be attractive. We have also been retained to find partners interested in the project finance, real estate/finance and regulatory arenas (environmental, land use, etc.). Depending on age, the ideal candidate will have a $1M+ practice and demonstrated track record.

Associates – San Diego and Los Angeles
Our client, a very prestigious and profitable national firm with a young but dynamic biotech and life sciences prosecution practice, has a pressing need for two outstanding lawyers with ideally 1-5 years biotech/life sciences prosecution experience. They will also look at patent agents, ideally with advanced life science academic backgrounds.

This firm has an exciting and instantly recognizable client base, reasonable billable hour requirement (1900-2000), first-rate national intellectual property team, and the opportunity to work with two terrific biotech and life sciences experts, both who happen to be very nice people. This is one of the more intriguing opportunities we’ve seen lately where one can accelerate their career path, work directly with many fine clients, be a big fish in a small pond, albeit one with the support of a top-notch national firm.
