Lateral Partner — Corporate/M&A — Paris

An appointment at partner level in this practice is decided by what the practice can carry across, far more than on any headline figure.

An international firm is seeking a lateral partner to join and help lead its corporate practice in Paris. The role offers a genuine platform to build and grow a market-facing practice within a collaborative, cross-border environment.

The corporate group advises on a broad range of transactional and investment work, spanning mergers and acquisitions, private equity, funds, joint ventures, capital markets, structured finance and venture capital. The successful candidate will take a leading role in client development and in the strategic direction of the practice.

This is an opportunity for an established partner or a senior practitioner with a demonstrable following to step into a leadership position with strong internal and international referral networks.

• A substantial portable book of business
• Admitted to practice in France with strong corporate transactional experience
• Proven ability to originate and lead client relationships
• Track record in M&A, private equity, funds and related investment work
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial approach suited to a cross-border platform

Where the match is not obvious from the description, a conversation is still worth having — partner briefs move with the candidate.
