Job description

Corporate Partner -be a significant part of the growth of this US Law Firm in London.

The firm has an extensive network of offices across the United States, together with an established and growing presence in Asia. London is viewed as a strategically important bridge between these markets—connecting US clients and opportunities with the UK, Europe and Asia.

The firm is genuinely integrated internationally, with a significant proportion of its work generated through collaboration between offices and practice groups. An incoming partner would therefore have meaningful access to cross-border relationships and referral opportunities, rather than simply joining a collection of overseas offices.

The successful partner is likely to have:

• A strong private company M&A, private equity or broader corporate practice
• An established and demonstrably portable client following
• An entrepreneurial approach and the ambition to help build a larger London corporate offering
• Clients who would benefit from access to a substantial US platform and growing Asian capabilities

The firm also offers extensive marketing and business-development support, a flexible and competitive approach to rates, and access to complementary practices including finance, disputes, employment, real estate and technology.
