Job description

Our law firm client has a long-standing presence in the technology, healthcare and pharma sectors and the firm has been kept exceptionally busy across all its transactional teams and especially within a corporate department that has long focused on private equity and VC work in the mid-market.

The team are now looking for an additional PE partner, in London, likely with an existing network of contacts (corporates, referrers or funds) and someone who wants to help drive this practice area forward with a degree of autonomy.

Existing partners within this team are all highly regarded and ranked in the directories and, overall, the department has a loyal client base which continues to grow and prosper. It is important that you understand and enjoy the nature and culture of these types of mid-market clients, the requirements they have of their external counsel and the level of advice required on a day-to-day basis.

The partners will consider a range of candidates; existing partners, and those on the cusp of partnership who are being frustrated by bottlenecks. Potentially, also, senior lawyers who are returning to private practice from in house (a fund, or similar). Cultural fit will be crucial + a realistic business plan.

With a super brand and affable, committed partners this opportunity represents a really good, established platform for those looking to make a long-term lateral move and be part of what is already an impressive growth story. The firm is stable, profitable and has strong retention rates.
