We are running a confidential search at partner level. The requirement is re-confirmed each cycle with the client, and the detail below reflects the current brief.

A prominent law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its Chicago office, contributing to a dynamic practice spanning corporate, intellectual property, antitrust and competition, and energy.

The firm's corporate team handles private equity and venture capital transactions, while the patent litigation group focuses on life sciences and technology clients. The antitrust and competition practice is closely tied to the private equity industry and offers sophisticated work in these intersecting areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for a partner with a portable book of business to join a collaborative platform with a strong national presence and a growing Chicago office. The firm supports an open compensation system and offers rates competitive with top-tier firms.

Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
Admission to the Illinois bar (or ability to waive in)
Significant experience in one or more of the following: corporate, intellectual property, antitrust and competition, or energy
Demonstrated ability to generate and maintain client relationships

Where the match is not obvious from the description, a conversation is still worth having — partner briefs move with the candidate.
