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

An internationally recognized law firm is seeking a lateral partner to strengthen its Finance & Banking practice in Paris. This is a strategic opening for a senior practitioner with an established client following and a proven track record in complex finance transactions.

The role covers a broad financing mandate, with particular emphasis on asset-backed finance, asset management, and capital markets work. The successful candidate will lead and develop client relationships, manage significant transactions, and contribute to the continued growth of the Paris finance platform.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, cross-border team and to play a key role in shaping the practice's direction in the French market.

Admitted to practice in France (or equivalent qualification) with substantial experience in Finance & Banking law

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Strong leadership, business development, and client relationship skills

Where the match is not obvious from the description, a conversation is still worth having — the specification tends to follow the practice.
