This is an ongoing partner-level search, handled confidentially. The requirement is re-confirmed each cycle with the client, and what follows is the current brief.

A leading international law firm is seeking lateral partner teams to grow its Baltimore platform. The firm handles big-ticket commercial litigation and complex corporate transactions for clients across the life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, and automotive sectors.

This is a strategic, team-oriented expansion: the firm is prioritizing the acquisition of cohesive partner groups over individual laterals, adding capability and volume in transactional and significant commercial litigation work.

Preferred candidates bring an established practice in private equity, venture capital, M&A, corporate governance, or complex commercial litigation, with the ability to support and integrate a portable client base.

Portable book of business of less than $5M (USD)
Partner-level experience in corporate transactions or commercial litigation
Team-oriented practice with cohesive partner groups preferred
Background in private equity, venture capital, M&A, or complex commercial litigation
Sector experience in life sciences, financial services, technology, energy, or automotive is beneficial

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