We can’t speak for other firms, but here at Stone & Magnanini LLP, we have an ever-increasing abundance of interesting and challenging complex litigation work. So far, our recently-formed firm seems to be (knock wood) virtually recession-proof! To help us shoulder our fortunate burden, we need experienced, quality lawyers to supplement our recent hires.
You may already know us as a recent “spin-off” from Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. Based in the New York suburb of Short Hills, New Jersey, we represent clients nationwide in both plaintiff and defense-oriented cases, mostly in federal court. While best known for our nationally-recognized False Claims Act practice, led by Managing Partner David S. Stone, we are experienced in myriad areas of complex litigation, including antitrust, intellectual property, securities, white collar criminal defense, and both civil and criminal appeals.
We seek impeccably-credentialed associates with 3-5 years experience in complex litigation. You must have exemplary academic credentials (preferably including excellent grades, law review membership and judicial clerkship), proven ability as a practicing litigator, and a commitment to work in New Jersey. We prefer current members of the New Jersey Bar, but we will accommodate the right person who needs to add that credential.
Our associates receive extensive responsibility on major cases, actively participating in complex litigation as part of an elite team of experienced trial lawyers. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, with opportunities for significant “upsides” based on case results.
If you can litigate important, cutting-edge cases in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment, and want to join a dynamic, growing enterprise based in a pleasant suburban community convenient to New York City, please send a current resume and transcript to smlawrecruiting@gmail.com.

Hong Kong/China and Singapore US Associate Lateral Markets Improving With New Openings In Cap Markets, M&A, Fund Formation, Project Finance And FCPA / White Collar Litigation
Presented by Kinney Recruiting
Ed. note: The Asia Chronicles column is authored by Kinney Recruiting. Kinney has made more placements of U.S. associates, counsels and partners in Asia than any other recruiting firm in each of the past six years. You can reach them by email: asia@kinneyrecruiting.com.
Deal flow has clearly picked recently up for most US associates, counsels and partners in Hong Kong/China and Singapore. We are on the phone with a lot of these folks on a daily basis, many of whom we have known for years. Further, the head of our Asia team, Evan Jowers, and Kinney’s founder and president, Robert Kinney, frequently meet in person with leading US partners in Asia to assess their needs and keep on top of the inside scoop at as many firms as possible. The need for legal recruiting help in Asia from experienced recruiters appears to be live and well. In March, Evan and Robert were in Beijing at such meetings, in April, Evan was in Hong Kong, and for half of June Evan will be in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Thus its pretty easy for us to tell when there has been an across-the-market pick up in capital markets and corporate work.
On an average day in Asia when Evan and Robert visit firms, they typically have 5 to 9 meetings a day, mostly with US partners in the market. The reason they have these meetings is not simply because Kinney makes a lot of US attorney placements in Asia and that a particular firm may have openings; instead these are just visits with friends. After years of working together as business partners, the folks at Kinney are actually these peoples’ friends. The firms Kinney work closely with in Asia (which is just about every law firm – call us if you want to know the one firm in the world we will never place anyone with again, ever, and why) look forward to the visits, or at least act like they do. After seven years in the market, many of the client partners are former associate candidates. Also, these US partners see Kinney as a very good source of market information as well, because they know how deep their contacts are in the market and how frequently they are speaking to counterparts at peer firms.

Virtual Canary in the Digital Mine #3: Total Pre-Cull (Part 1 of 3), Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Predictive Coding
Presented by AccessData
In a land that is right here and in a time that is right now, a technology has arisen so powerful that it can replace basic human document review. Is it time to bow down before our new robot overlords?First, here’s a little story about me: my life in the legal world began as a paralegal. My first case was a GIANT patent infringement case that was already six years old and had involved as many as five companies, multiple US courts, the ITC and an international standards committee. I knew nothing about any of this.
On my first day, my supervisor (a paralegal with at least eight other cases driving her crazy) sat me down in front of a Concordance database with a 100,000+ patents and patent file histories. “Code these,” she said. I learned that “coding”, for the purposes of this exercise, meant manually typing the inventor’s name, the title of the patent, the assignee, the file date, and other objective data for each document. I worked on that project – and only that project – for at least the first six months of my job. After a week or so, time began to blur.
What I know, in retrospect and with absolutely certainty, is that as time began to blur, so did my judgment. So did my attention to detail. If you could tell me that I did not make at least one mistake a day – one inconsistent spelling, one reversed day and month, one incorrectly spaced title – I frankly would need to see your evidence. I would not believe it. The human mind is trainable but it is not a machine.
