A lateral partner hire of this kind turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

A leading international law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join and help grow its corporate practice in Munich. The role offers a platform to lead complex, cross-border transactions while collaborating with colleagues across an integrated global network.

The practice focuses on high-value corporate work, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, capital markets, and venture capital. The successful candidate will act for a sophisticated client base on domestic and international mandates, with opportunities to take a leading role in business development and client relationship management.

This is a strategic hire within a collaborative, well-resourced team. The firm is committed to supporting the growth of the practice and offers a genuine platform for a partner seeking to develop their own practice and profile in the German market.

Admitted as a German-qualified lawyer (or equivalent qualification to practise in Germany)
Significant experience in corporate, M&A, private equity, capital markets, and/or venture capital transactions
Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-border deals and manage client relationships
Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
