How do you find corporate and M&A lawyers in Austin who are not actively job-seeking?
Most of the transactional talent worth recruiting is not on job boards. We maintain a continuously updated picture of 100+ corporate and M&A lawyers in the Austin market — their deal experience, seniority, and openness to a conversation — so we can approach the right people discreetly rather than waiting for applications.
What makes Austin's M&A talent pool distinctive compared with other Texas markets?
Austin's deal ecosystem is shaped by its concentration of high-growth technology companies, energy transition ventures and cross-border investment activity, which means the corporate lawyers who develop here often carry a broader transactional range than peers in more sector-uniform markets. That breadth is precisely what acquirers and growth-stage companies operating in Austin tend to need.
Can Sartori & Partners recruit a senior corporate partner or M&A counsel for our Austin team?
Yes. Partner-level and senior counsel searches in Austin's corporate and M&A market are a core part of what we do. We map the relevant talent across law firms and in-house functions, assess fit against the mandate, and run a discreet process — whether the role is for a firm building transactional capacity or a company that operates in Austin and needs deal-ready legal leadership.
