Project Finance Partner (New York)

A partner-level appointment in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, not on a headline number.

Am Law 200 firm seeks an experienced project finance partner (or counsel) to join its New York office and help drive growth in its corporate practice. This is an open-ended, senior-level search focused on building out a nimble, relationship-driven platform.

The firm is intentionally small and wants to remain so, but is expanding selectively as part of a strategic initiative to add three to five partners annually across a range of practices. Project finance is a key priority, building on recent lateral activity in this space.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Established project finance practice, with cross-border experience preferred
• Ability to generate business and work collaboratively in a small-firm environment
• Cultural fit is heavily weighted—entrepreneurial, self-starting, team-oriented
• Transactional depth in M&A, leveraged finance, or adjacent areas is welcome

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