Lateral Partner — Commercial Litigation & Corporate (Washington, D.C.)

A partner-level appointment on this brief is decided by what the practice can carry across, more than on any single number.

We are seeking a lateral partner to join a prominent practice that combines high-value commercial litigation with significant corporate transactional work. The role sits within a growing team focused on bet-the-company disputes and complex M&A and finance transactions across a range of sectors.

The practice represents clients in life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and the automotive industry, and the firm is focused on building out this platform through strategic lateral hiring.

This is a partner-level opportunity for a candidate with a substantial portable book of business and the ability to drive meaningful transactional volume. The team prioritizes collaborative, team-oriented laterals over individual movers.

• Portable book of business of $5M+ (USD)
• Partner-level experience in commercial litigation and/or corporate transactions
• Track record of managing significant disputes and high-value deals
• Ability to build and grow a team and contribute to a multidisciplinary practice
• Stable professional history (limited multiple-firm moves)

If the brief does not read like an exact match, a conversation is still worth having — these mandates flex around the right practice.
