  • Strong academic credentials — the group reviews law school and undergraduate transcripts/GPAs closely
  • Experience at a top law firm handling patent and/or trade secret litigation
  • Admitted to the state bar in which you are practicing
  • Stable career trajectory — minimal lateral moves preferred
