LexRex Partners, Inc.

Description

Bill Vochoska has placed well over 100 attorneys since the year 2000, most of whom have been partners of critical importance to companies and investors in the high technology and life science industries. His track record demonstrates a high level of recruiting expertise and success within a unique niche: intellectual property partners and partners in other practice areas who serve technology clients. Beyond recruiting individual partners, Bill has placed many partner groups and merged small to mid-sized law firms. He has launched offices for several AmLaw 100 firms in the United States and overseas, including K&L Gates, Goodwin Procter, Kaye Scholer, and others. Bill believes that no partner can ultimately resist an opportunity whose time has come. He has placed partners who had been at the same firm for over twenty years, as well as those who had been actively serving as office managing partners, practice leaders, and in other positions of authority at the moment they made the decision to join another law firm. Partners often comment on Bill’s easygoing manner and how pleasant it is to work with him. Even so, he is extremely persistent when he believes he can significantly advance a partner’s career. More than once, Bill has placed a partner whose response to his initial inquiry was some variation of the phrase, “I’m not interested in leaving my firm.” Bill makes placements that stand the test of time. The first lateral attorney he ever placed is still at the same firm, over 11 years later. His desire is for every placement to be as successful. He works with rainmaking partners at every stage of career development: The junior partner who needs a more aggressive platform to facilitate the transition to major rainmaker The mid-career partner who recognizes that a more appropriate platform would provide clients a better level of service The established leader of a partner group who wants to make an impact by taking the group to launch an office or build a practice group for another firm The senior attorney with a loyal client base who intends to practice for many more years while mentoring the next generation of partners Bill was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. He earned a BS degree from Boston University and a JD/MBA from the University of Southern California before practicing law in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, California. In 1999 he joined a veteran recruiter who had opened a new search firm the year before. Bill spent the next 11 years building that search firm to national prominence. He placed his first IP partner in 2001 and his first IP group in 2002. At the end of 2010, he chose to create a unique partner search firm that would serve law firms and partners in the technology sector better than any other search firm in the country. With Lex Rex Partners, Bill continues his nearly 12-year track record of success.
