Sartori & Partners is the Corporate Finance search partner for organizations and candidates competing in Chicago's legal market, where we map 500+ lawyers carrying this speciality across the city and its surrounding corridors. That depth of coverage gives hiring teams precise intelligence on who is active, who is achievable, and what a competitive offer actually looks like in this market right now.
With 17 live mandates spanning associate, mid-level, and partner-level Corporate Finance roles in Chicago at this moment, we work both sides of every search: understanding what a firm needs and, equally, what the next move means for the individual making it. A lateral into Chicago's Corporate Finance market carries real weight — the city anchors significant deal flow in infrastructure, private capital, and transactional work that does not mirror the patterns of the coasts, and candidates who make the move here shape their practice accordingly.
Our Corporate Finance searches in Chicago run alongside active assignments in Private Equity, Mergers & Acquisitions, Fund Formation, Banking & Lending, and other specialisms across the city, which means the intelligence we hold on compensation, market movement, and candidate appetite is current and cross-referenced — not drawn from a single narrow slice of the market.
