The client keeps this search open for the right practice, without a fixed closing date. Approaches are welcome at any point in your own timeline.

We are seeking a lateral partner to help drive growth in a combined commercial litigation and corporate transactional practice. The group handles significant, high-value commercial disputes alongside complex corporate transactions for clients across a range of industries.

This is a team-oriented opportunity. The practice prioritizes acquiring cohesive teams rather than individual laterals, with the goal of expanding transactional volume and deepening the bench for major commercial litigation work.

Core sector focus spans life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and automotive. The role offers a platform with strong cross-border reach and an emphasis on meaningful, high-stakes engagements.

  • Portable book of business of $5M+ (USD)
  • An established anchor client relationship
  • Candidates with more than 3–5 prior firm moves may not be considered
  • Demonstrated ability to lead significant commercial litigation and/or corporate transactions
  • Team-based approach to practice building and client service

Discussions are held in confidence and your name reaches no one without your say-so.
