Lateral Partner — Cross-Border Private Capital & Restructuring

This search stays open while the right candidate is in market, without a fixed closing date. We take approaches at any stage in your own timeline.

An elite global firm is seeking a lateral partner to help build and expand a cross-border private capital and restructuring practice. The group operates at the intersection of private equity, finance, and special situations, with a focus on complex multi-jurisdictional transactions and restructurings.

The firm has an established US client base in this area but a deliberately small bench, creating a significant opportunity for a partner to drive growth. The platform is particularly attractive for candidates who can bridge the New York and London markets, leveraging cross-border depth across the US, UK, and Germany.

This is envisioned as a group move rather than a single hire, and the firm's leadership has expressed clear strategic interest in expanding the practice. The role offers a strong fit for a partner with a portable following and the ambition to build a market-leading, cross-border offering.

• Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
• Admission and active practice in a relevant jurisdiction (US, UK, or Germany)
• Demonstrated experience in private capital, finance, and/or restructuring
• Proven ability to lead complex cross-border transactions and client relationships

If the brief does not read like an exact match, a conversation is still worth having — the specification tends to follow the practice.
