A lateral partner hire of this kind turns on the portability of the practice, not on a headline number.

Established energy and environmental practice seeks an experienced partner to join its Chicago team. The role will focus on energy, infrastructure and environmental matters across transactional and regulatory work, with opportunities to lead client engagements and grow a U.S.-focused practice.

The team advises project developers, investors and other market participants on regulatory, permitting and transactional issues in the energy and infrastructure sectors. The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues across offices to deliver cross-border and multidisciplinary solutions.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Proven partner-level experience in energy, infrastructure or environmental law
Strong track record of originating and leading client engagements
Admission to practice in Illinois or eligibility to transfer

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