Lateral Partner, Tax & Energy — Portland

A lateral partner hire in this practice is decided by what the practice can carry across, more than on any single number.

Experienced tax partner sought to lead and grow an energy tax practice in the Portland office of a well-established law firm. The role will focus on providing sophisticated tax advice to energy-sector clients, handling complex transactional and structuring matters, and advising on regulatory and tax implications across conventional and renewable energy projects.

The successful candidate will play a senior client-facing role, originate and expand business, and help develop a team of associates and counsel. This is an opportunity to shape a visible practice group and work on cross-practice matters with corporate and finance teams.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Partner-level experience in tax matters, with a strong focus on energy-sector work
• Proven business development and client origination track record
• Excellent leadership, team management and mentoring skills
• Admission to practice in the relevant U.S. jurisdiction or ability to obtain it

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