2027 Patent Litigation Attorney

Kate is the person you want in your corner if you’re planning to go through the stresses that are a lateral move. Not only are her deep connections in the market immediately evident (we were instantly in contact with the select few firms I had on my list), but she strives to ensure her clients are supported and heard. She exerts considerable effort to humanize the process, and clearly cares about your well-being. Add that on top of her impressive technical skills—e.g., conducting mock interviews, helping with cover letters, answering frantic text messages—and you have an outstanding recruiter. I could not have chosen a better person to help with my move.

Dale is professional, friendly, and extremely helpful! He ensured that the entire recruitment process went very smoothly and checked in regularly with me and gave quick feedback at after every stage. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I worked with Andrea when it came time to leave my prior law firm. Having spent my first five years as a lawyer with the firm I was leaving, I was a bit nervous about exploring the market and knew that I wanted to land somewhere that would meet my specific criteria (location, pay, meaningful work, opportunity to grow, good people, etc.). Andrea helped calm my nerves and educated me on the market and my best options. She also held my hand through the application/interview stages and then helped me negotiate once I received an offer, which was an incredibly beneficial service. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Vijay from Sterling Clark Group is a true talent in the world of legal recruitment. With Vijay’s essential guidance and support, I secured a lucrative lateral offer in a tough economy.  Since our introductory exchanges, Vijay communicated with me in an uplifting yet realistic manner. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal field. He provided keen insight into various legal industries, law firm sizes, and feasible exit opportunities. Vijay’s knowledge base repeatedly proved to me that he understands the different shapes a legal career can take.  Vijay’s memory is sharp, and he clearly invests in the candidates he works with. Vijay took the initiative to speak with me candidly about my own career goals. He would thoughtfully weave those goals into the opportunities he carefully tailored and shared with me. As a diverse applicant, it was also important for me to work with a recruiter who was considerate of my background. Vijay proved more than capable of ensuring that the opportunities I considered provided meaningful programming and mentorship for diverse attorneys. During our meetings, Vijay showcased a keen and strategic approach to the lateral hiring process. Vijay works diligently to ensure that his clients lead with their very best. Vijay’s resume input urged me to step into the shoes of a reviewer. It allowed me to refine my language meaningfully. Vijay’s interview prep anticipated questions and workshopped my answers. This preparation allowed me to arrive at interviews with confidence. And at each turn, Vijay showed deep investment in my process. Vijay was eager to debrief interviews and he would offer worthwhile input based on his years of experience and industry exposure. These debriefs offered perspective on my candidacy and feedback to bring into later rounds. Vijay is a true advocate for his clients. He sparked meaningful reflection. He spoke with me from a place of relatability and genuine encouragement. He foresaw the contours of the interview and recruitment process that I could not have anticipated on my own. I benefited greatly from his efforts and ended this process feeling like he invested in me.

Ren was great to work with. I was under no pressure to leave my prior firm and relatively new to the process, and Ren tailored his approach to my situation and worked with me to find the best opportunities. From our first conversation, he was proactive, invested and diligent in keeping things moving across the board. From market knowledge to interview advice, his insights and experience proved very helpful and contributed to a smooth and straightforward transition. I’m very grateful to Ren for his role in the process.

Max helped me through a career transition with utmost attentiveness and care. At every step of the transition, Max discerningly asked about my levels of interest and excitement so as to make sure I felt right about our agreed path forward. In my case, I transitioned to a firm to which Max personally sought and reached out because he felt that the firm was a fit based on our conversations. I am grateful for Max's industriousness on my behalf and innate ability to connect with people while introducing me in a positive light, which set the tone for an amazing outcome for me. I would and will recommend Max to anyone thinking about a career change.

Evan assisted me in my placement with a new firm, which was a transfer into a relatively niche and specialist area of law. I was very impressed by his knowledge of the industry, his diligence and patience with various requests and his overall ability to recognize and understand what was ultimately the best fit for me. Evan is an excellent recruiter, and one I would gladly recommend to anyone.
