Lateral Partner, Corporate & Antitrust (Multiple US & London Offices)

An appointment at partner level on this brief is decided by what the practice can carry across, far more than on any headline figure.

We are working with a leading international law firm that is actively expanding its partner ranks across a range of practices in multiple US cities and London. The firm is seeking partner-level candidates with active, portable practices and an interest in a platform offering genuine global reach.

Priority practice groups include corporate and M&A, private equity and venture capital, emerging growth and startups, capital markets, antitrust and competition, commercial litigation, and technology transactions.

The platform combines US and UK capabilities with US–Asia synergies, a single-tier partnership structure, and competitive economics. Leadership engages early in the hiring process, and conflicts are reviewed pragmatically to keep conversations moving efficiently.

The firm has a strong preference for partners and groups whose practices are scalable and revenue-generating, and is open to group moves that include associates.

• Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
• Partner-level practice with a strong revenue-generation track record
• Interest in group/multi-lawyer moves welcomed; associates may accompany a group
• Billing rates generally north of $1,200 per hour

If the brief does not read like an exact match, a conversation is still worth having — partner briefs move with the candidate.
