Partner — Restructuring & Corporate, Cologne

A partner-level appointment on this brief is decided by what the practice can carry across, not on a headline number.

Opportunity for a lateral partner to lead and grow a restructuring-focused corporate practice within a well-established German law firm’s Cologne office. The role combines courtroom and advisory restructuring work with corporate transactional matters for domestic and international borrowers, creditors and stakeholders.

Ideal candidate will take responsibility for client development, case leadership and mentoring senior associates while collaborating across practice groups on complex insolvency-related mandates.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Established track record in restructuring/insolvency and related corporate work
• Admission to practise in Germany (or equivalent) with strong client development skills

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