The data- and AI-driven talent practice of Patexia

Lateral Compass connects firms and candidates through a single, AI-powered interface. Describe an opening or a background in plain language, and our engine — built on Patexia's deep data intelligence — surfaces the right match in both directions.

Intellectual property is our specialty, but not our limit. Our experts place talent across every practice area and at every level — attorneys, patent agents, technical specialists, paralegals, and support staff — nationwide.

What sets us apart is evidence. We rank talent against litigation records, PTAB outcomes, attorney performance, and market signals that others can't see, so every placement rests on data, not just a resume.

This isn't a database we bought. Lateral Compass is built on years of engineering at Patexia and an immense body of legal data — processed, structured, and refined over many years — that no one else can match.
