A lateral partner hire in this practice turns on what actually moves with you, not on a headline number.

The search is open to candidates nationwide; relocation or hybrid arrangements may be considered.

Proven partner-level experience advising agribusiness clients on regulatory and transactional matters
Demonstrated track record in business development and team leadership
Knowledge of cannabis regulatory landscape and related commercial issues preferred

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is usually still worth talking — these mandates flex around the right practice.
