Lateral Partner, Corporate & M&A — Atlantic City

A lateral partner hire on this brief turns on the portability of the practice, more than on any single number.

Leading international law firm seeks a Lateral Partner to strengthen its corporate practice in Atlantic City, with a focus on M&A, private equity and capital markets work. The role will originate and lead transactions, advise growth and technology-sector clients, and partner with IP and litigation teams on cross-cutting matters.

The successful candidate will join a growing platform that emphasizes cross-office collaboration across the U.S. and internationally. This is a business-development heavy position: the hire will be expected to expand client relationships, win new mandates, and work closely with industry-focused teams (life sciences, technology, financial services, energy).

• Portable book of business of $4M+ (USD)
• Established track record in M&A, PE-related transactions and capital markets (issuer-side experience desirable)
• Experience advising technology, life‑sciences, financial‑services or energy clients and working with IP/litigation teams on transactional and contested matters
• Proven business development ability and capacity to lead a practice group or significant client portfolio
• Admission to practice in the relevant U.S. jurisdiction and ability to work across multiple offices

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