Lateral Partner – Corporate with Competition Focus – Brussels

A partner-level appointment on this brief turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

We are instructed on a lateral partner search for a corporate practice in Brussels, sitting within a leading international law firm with a strong cross-border transactional footprint.

The successful candidate will take a senior leadership role in the Belgium corporate group, driving transactional mandates while leveraging a complementary competition focus. The role is ideal for a partner or senior practitioner looking to grow a practice within an established platform.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior lawyer with an existing following to join a reputable international firm in a key European market.

• Admitted to practice in Belgium (or eligible for requalification)
• Significant experience in corporate transactional work, including M&A and competition-related matters
• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Demonstrated leadership and business development capabilities

If the fit is not obvious on paper, it is usually still worth talking — partner briefs move with the candidate.
