A lateral partner hire of this kind turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

An established law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join and help lead its Energy practice. This is a partner-track opportunity for an attorney with a strong background in the energy sector, including oil and gas matters.

The role involves representing clients across the energy industry on a range of transactional, regulatory, and commercial matters. The incoming partner will have the opportunity to grow and shape the practice while collaborating with colleagues across related disciplines.

This position is based in the Silicon Valley area and offers a platform for a partner looking to expand their energy practice within a well-regarded firm.

Partner-level experience in energy law, with a focus on oil and gas matters
Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Admission to practice law in the relevant jurisdiction
Strong client relationships and a demonstrated ability to originate and manage engagements

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