A global law firm

Apply in confidence →

This search stays open for the right practice, without a fixed closing date. We take approaches at any stage in your own timeline.

We are working with a national full-service firm seeking to expand its real estate practice across several key US markets. This is a strategic growth initiative driven by substantial referral work and succession planning needs.

  • South Florida (Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami): Two searches: (1) a group of two to three partners with a compelling, self-sustaining book of business, ideally bringing junior partners or senior associates to absorb immediate overflow work; (2) a more junior individual partner who is sophisticated enough to receive work and run deals independently.
  • Southern California: A partner group with a strong portable book—a single lateral will not suffice.
  • Texas (Houston, Dallas): A highly sophisticated partner or group in real estate (or corporate) to strengthen the full-service platform.
  • Philadelphia: A next-generation real estate leader, junior to mid-level partner, to drive succession planning.

The firm has a national presence with over 35 offices and nearly 1,100 attorneys. It evolved from a specialty insurance practice into a full-service firm and has a strong culture of lateral integration, cross-selling, and entrepreneurial growth. No capital contribution is required to join, and the C Corporation structure means no multi-jurisdiction tax filings for partners.

  • JD with a strong academic background and admission to practice in the relevant state.
  • For South Florida group: two to three partners with a compelling, self-sustaining book of business, ideally with portable support staff.
  • For South Florida junior partner: roughly $1M or slightly below in portable book, with a trajectory toward $1M+ (e.g., $500K, $750K, $800K growth). Must be sophisticated enough to handle work handed off and run deals independently.
  • For Southern California: a group with a compelling book of business—no individual laterals.
  • For Texas: highly sophisticated, portable book, likely to bring others.
  • For Philadelphia: JD class between 2011 and early 2000s, senior enough for sophisticated work and mentoring.
  • Entrepreneurial, collaborative, willing to share credit and cross-sell.
  • Proven track record of business development and client relationships.
  • Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
