Sartori & Partners places Banking & Lending attorneys across the Los Angeles market, drawing on a mapped talent pool of 250+ practitioners active here and connecting them with the 13 live mandates we are running right now. Los Angeles presents a Banking & Lending practice that diverges sharply from the broader Finance & Banking landscape: where capital markets and M&A work dominates finance practices in other major cities, lending work in Los Angeles is shaped by the distinctive capital flows that define the Southern California economy — entertainment and media finance, venture and growth lending, and real estate debt at scale.
That sectoral mix creates hiring demands that differ from those elsewhere in our Banking & Lending network. The active mandates in this market reflect the range: corporate debt associates who understand borrower-side negotiation, venture and growth finance practitioners who operate in the growth-lending and fund-finance space, and attorneys with depth in acquisition and leveraged finance who serve private equity sponsors active in the region. The thread connecting them is deal-level fluency in how capital moves differently in a market driven by content, technology, and real estate rather than by traditional industrial or financial-sector credit.
We work across seniority levels and cover the full lending spectrum — from associates building a foundational deal diet to senior practitioners anchoring complex credit mandates. Our Los Angeles coverage spans the broader practice as well, including Commercial Litigation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Civil Litigation, Class Actions, Wage & Hour, and Unions & Labor Relations, which means a lateral move frequently surfaces cross-practice options that a narrower search would not reach.

How does Banking and Lending work in Los Angeles differ from other cities where you recruit this speciality?
The Los Angeles Banking & Lending market is structured around capital flows specific to Southern California. Entertainment and media finance, venture and growth lending, and large-scale real estate debt each call for attorneys with deal experience that practitioners in pure capital-markets or leveraged-buyout-heavy cities do not necessarily develop. Candidates who bring borrower-side corporate debt experience alongside exposure to venture or growth lending are positioned to compete across a broader range of the 13 mandates active here than their counterparts in New York, Chicago, Washington, or Charlotte.
How many live banking & lending roles does Sartori & Partners have?
We currently have 13 live banking & lending roles in Los Angeles, spanning 5 partner-level and 8 associate or counsel positions. Most mandates in this market are handled confidentially — these are the roles we are in a position to share openly.
What compensation do banking & lending roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, banking & lending role compensation in Los Angeles runs $225k–$390k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band.
