Lateral Partner — Corporate, Litigation & Finance (Los Angeles)

An appointment at partner level in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, not on a headline number.

An established global firm is seeking a lateral partner team to strengthen its Los Angeles presence across corporate, commercial litigation, finance and banking, technology, and energy work. The firm prioritizes adding cohesive groups over solo laterals, and the platform is designed to support both significant commercial litigation and big-ticket corporate transactions.

Ideal candidates will bring active practices that complement a broad transactional and disputes offering, with experience spanning private equity, venture capital, mergers & acquisitions, corporate governance, and complex commercial litigation. Sector interests include life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and automotive.

This opportunity suits partner-level attorneys with an entrepreneurial approach who can contribute deal flow and litigation volume, enjoy cross-office collaboration, and are interested in growing a practice within a recognized international platform. The firm values stability and long-term alignment in its lateral hires.

• At least one anchor client relationship
• Partner-level experience in corporate, litigation, finance, technology, or energy
