Lateral Partner — Corporate & Commercial Litigation (Texas)

An appointment at partner level on this brief turns on what actually moves with you, not on a headline number.

A leading international law firm is actively seeking a high-caliber lateral partner to join its Houston office. This is a strategic opportunity to help expand transactional volume and commercial litigation capabilities across several key sectors, including life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and the automotive industry.

The firm is prioritizing the acquisition of cohesive partner teams rather than individual laterals. The ideal group will bring significant, high-value commercial litigation experience and corporate transactional capacity, with the ability to handle complex, big-ticket matters for major clients.

This role offers a platform for meaningful cross-border and multi-jurisdictional work, with markets of particular interest including New York, Northern California, Texas, London, and Germany. The firm is committed to supporting partners with a strong portable practice and the potential to generate substantial transactional and litigation flow.

• Portable book of business of $5M+ (USD)
• At least one anchor client relationship
• Demonstrated track record in high-value commercial litigation and corporate transactions
• Ideal candidates will come as a team rather than as an individual
• Stable career history (fewer than three to five lateral moves preferred)

Discussions are held in confidence and nothing is shared with the firm without your explicit approval.
