Associates
This division specializes in effectively representing all levels of elite associates in the quest to advance their partnership tracks. Many of these associates never leave the firms in which they have been placed by Rossi IP. With over 90% moving upward in the partnership ranks, Rossi IP has positioned numerous leaders of distinguished national AM firms.
We Shop the IP Marketplace
The success of Rossi IP has manifested from its distinct approach to recruiting and placement. The traditional legal recruiting platform revolves around the best interests of law firms, with recruiters servicing and representing them, rather than potential associates. By moving away from this archaic practice, Rossi IP has differentiated itself within the IP Recruiting Marketplace.
Rossi IP represents attorneys and works tirelessly on their behalf to aggressively seek out and locate career opportunities that meet the associates’ short-term and long-term goals. Rossi IP’s sophisticated systems and unique marketing approach allow for an efficient and full vetting process while skillfully and discreetly testing the entire IP Marketplace, without ever exposing the identity of the attorney represented.

You
Masking the identity of the attorney
during the search process allows Rossi IP and the attorney
to be strategic and selective, bypassing opportunities that do not align with the attorney’s
aspirations. Rossi IP can then vet the marketplace multiple times and not stop at one offer, instead
working diligently to obtain multiple offers and ensure the absolute best possible fit within
the IP Marketplace.
We Negotiate on Behalf of Associates
An excellent placement to partnership ratio occurs because Rossi IP negotiates uncompromisingly and unrestrained by loyalty to the law firm. A small sampling of what Rossi IP negotiates on behalf of the attorneys represented follows:
Identify competencies required to become a partner
Set specific time frame for transition into the partnership
Making sure Partners provide work necessary for development
A small budget for new business development
Above-market compensation including sign-on bonus
Credit for education and business development
Our Deals Produce Results
Rossi IP has done more than list these items as goals. In previous placements, Rossi IP has negotiated salaries 30K to 40K above lock-step, along with the elimination of lock-step, 80K to 100K sign, 10% origination credit, and two to three years credit for partnership consideration.
Rossi IP also performs in-house searches for qualified attorneys. Rossi IP only works on in-house positions that have a trajectory into management.
