An appointment at partner level in this practice turns on what actually moves with you, not on a headline number.

The successful candidate will work across buyouts, growth capital and related fund/formation matters, collaborating with established cross-border teams. This is a visible position with opportunity to shape strategy, hire and mentor junior lawyers, and originate new business.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Established partner-level private equity and M&A practice
• Proven ability to originate and develop client relationships and grow a practice
• Experience working on cross-border private equity matters and collaborating with multi-jurisdictional teams

If the fit is not obvious on paper, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
