How does Sartori & Partners find corporate and M&A lateral candidates in New York?
We maintain a continuously updated map of 5,000+ corporate and M&A lawyers active in the New York market. Rather than relying on inbound applications, we track deal activity, seniority progression, and practice signals across the full talent pool — so we can identify the right profiles quietly and precisely when a mandate arises.
What types of corporate and M&A roles do you recruit for in New York?
We recruit across the full seniority range — from mid-level associates with strong deal experience to senior counsel and partners with portable practice. Mandates typically span general corporate, leveraged finance, private equity, public M&A, and cross-border transactions for firms and companies that operate in New York and internationally.
Why does having a mapped market matter for corporate and M&A search in New York?
New York corporate and M&A is a relationship-dense market where the best candidates are rarely actively looking. A firm that has already mapped 5,000+ practitioners — their deal histories, seniority trajectory, and practice focus — can move faster and with greater accuracy than one building a list from scratch. That preparation is the difference between a search that closes in weeks and one that stalls.
