An Am Law 20 firm

Apply in confidence →

A partner-level appointment in this practice turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

An established law firm is seeking a senior laterals team to expand its Boston presence and add depth across corporate transactions and high-stakes commercial litigation.

The firm prioritizes acquiring cohesive, established teams rather than individual hires, with the goal of boosting transactional volume and capacity for significant commercial disputes. Work spans mergers and acquisitions, finance, and commercial litigation, with a strong sector focus across life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and the automotive industry.

The platform supports cross-border and multi-jurisdictional matters, with particular market activity in New York, Northern California, Texas, London, and Germany. Candidates should demonstrate a sustained record of complex, high-value work and the ability to operate at a partner level.

  • Portable book of business of $5M+ (USD)
  • At least one anchor client relationship
  • Partner-level experience in corporate transactions and/or commercial litigation
  • Demonstrated ability to work as part of a cohesive lateral team
  • Client contacts and market presence consistent with the firm's sector focus

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is still worth a conversation — partner briefs move with the candidate.
