A lateral partner hire on this brief turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

Am Law 200 firm seeks a lateral partner to join and help build its Government Contracts practice in Washington, D.C. This is a priority growth area for the firm, and the incoming partner will have the opportunity to help shape the group's strategy and play a meaningful role in its development.

The firm offers a single-tier equity partnership, with lateral partners entering as equity partners immediately. It describes its culture as entrepreneurial and provides hands-on support to help partners grow their books from day one—through integration teams, client introductions, and cross-selling opportunities.

The ideal candidate is an established Government Contracts partner with a predominantly government-focused practice, including bid-protest and claims work. A demonstrated interest in building client relationships and developing a practice is essential. The firm is open to considering a team where the economics are sustainable.
