The client keeps this search open while the right candidate is in market, not to a published deadline. Approaches are welcome at any point in your own timeline.

An established law firm is seeking a lateral partner to join its San Diego office and help drive growth across its finance and banking, intellectual property and antitrust & competition practices.

The partner will advise clients on middle-market and complex finance transactions, patent litigation and antitrust matters, with a particular emphasis on private equity sponsors. The practice serves clients across three core industries: private equity, life sciences and technology, and energy.

This is an opportunity for a partner-level attorney with a portable practice to build on an existing platform, work alongside colleagues on significant mandates, and contribute to the continued growth of a collaborative and dynamic team.

Partner-level experience in finance and banking, intellectual property, and/or antitrust & competition
Portable book of business of $3M+ (USD)
Demonstrated ability to lead and grow client relationships in relevant industries (private equity, life sciences, technology, or energy)
Strong academic credentials and a record of success in complex legal matters

If the brief does not read like an exact match, it is still worth a conversation — partner briefs move with the candidate.
