For IP Litigation folks in life sciences/pharma - what are the likely exit options? The boutique patent lit firms don’t seem to have a lighter workload and it seems like most in house positions require tech transaction and patent persecution experience, which is not easy to get while in big law (since different groups). I am a junior associate and any advice is appreciated.

I’m also in IP lit. Curious about this because there don’s seem to be many/any options outside of just continuing doing litigation.

Also interested in this. Can say that a former associate colleague of mine in life sciences/IP lit (mid level associate) landed a transactional in-house gig in big pharma. Not sure how common that is,though

Nope! Weird, huh?

Wow massive typo - *prosecution

Not an IP litigator myself, but in the Valley and have mostly seen my IP lit colleagues become product counsel.

Learning opportunities in the role.
