Lateral Partner, Litigation — Chicago

A partner-level appointment in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, not on a headline number.

Senior litigation partner role in a U.S. commercial litigation and arbitration team based in Chicago. The role will lead high-stakes disputes across domestic commercial litigation and international arbitration forums.

The team represents corporate clients in complex matters and is seeking a partner who can both try cases and manage major arbitrations, mentor junior lawyers, and help grow the practice in the region.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Established track record handling high‑stakes commercial litigation and international arbitration
• Proven ability to originate and deepen client relationships and to lead trial or arbitration teams

If the fit is not obvious on paper, it is still worth a conversation — these mandates flex around the right practice.
