We are running a partner-level search, handled confidentially. The mandate is reviewed on a rolling basis with the client, and the description below is the current version.

A leading national law firm with a significant Miami presence is actively recruiting across four core practice areas: Real Estate, Real Estate Finance, Corporate/M&A, and Healthcare. These are growth-driven hires within the firm’s strongest practices, not backfill roles. The firm is known for its collaborative culture, strong economics, and substantial investment in lateral talent.

The immediate priority is Real Estate at the associate level (junior, mid-level, and senior), with a continuous need for Real Estate Finance attorneys. The firm is also looking to upgrade its Corporate/M&A capabilities and welcomes strong Healthcare associates, as healthcare is a core industry focus and a key area for partner growth.

Beyond these four, the firm maintains an ongoing appetite for Private Equity attorneys (treated as a subsection of Corporate/M&A) and is investing heavily in Life Sciences (adjacent to IP and Healthcare). The firm’s broader core areas also include Commercial Litigation and Intellectual Property, though the immediate focus is on the practices listed above.

This is an open-ended search: the firm hires continuously for the right candidates rather than filling a fixed number of positions. There is no application deadline.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Must practice in one of the firm’s six core areas: Healthcare, Real Estate, Finance (including Real Estate Finance), Commercial Litigation, Intellectual Property, or Corporate/M&A.
For Real Estate: open to juniors, mid-levels, and seniors; for Healthcare: strong associates; for Corporate/M&A: candidates who can upgrade existing capabilities.
Partners with a portable book are welcome across all core areas, with no seniority cap where a book exists.
Candidates should be entrepreneurial, seeking to build a practice on a strong platform, and comfortable leveraging a large team to generate business rather than doing all the work themselves.
Working style: collaborative, team-oriented, and willing to be part of an office presence (typically three days a week for mid-level/senior associates; partners expected to be active in the office). Fully remote is possible but limited.
No appetite for practices outside the core areas (e.g., immigration, energy, or other non-core disciplines).
For partner-level candidates:
Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)

Where the match is not obvious from the description, a conversation is still worth having — the specification tends to follow the practice.
