A lateral partner hire in this practice is decided by what the practice can carry across, far more than on any headline figure.

An established law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its commercial litigation practice in Houston. This is an opportunity to bring a portable practice into a platform with a robust litigation offering, serving clients across a range of complex commercial disputes.

The chosen candidate will manage and grow a book of business while collaborating with colleagues on litigation matters. The role offers significant autonomy and the resources of a larger firm.

The firm has a strong Texas presence and a national litigation footprint, and is looking to expand its Houston commercial litigation capabilities with an experienced partner.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Admission to the Texas Bar (or ability to become admitted)
Extensive experience in commercial litigation, including trial and case management
Demonstrated ability to generate and sustain client relationships
Strong academic credentials and a record of professional achievement

If the fit is not obvious on paper, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
