About Latitude

Latitude is a globally-ranked legal services company that specializes in directly employing and providing former BigLaw attorneys, in-house counsel, and other legal professionals to legal departments and law firms. We provide practice-specific contract attorneys who have served as associates, counsel, and partners in Am Law firms, leading boutiques, and/or as in-house counsel in large corporate legal departments. We also assist many of our clients with permanent positions, including general counsel searches. Our clients range from Fortune Global 500 companies and Global 100 law firms to high-growth privately-held companies, major non-profits, government entities, and boutique law firms.

Latitude Partners are all former senior lawyers at law firms or legal departments, and have extensive community ties, practice experience and professional relationships. Latitude has offices in multiple cities across the United States and more than 5,000 attorneys in our talent pool (including attorneys in all 50 states and numerous other countries). We are globally ranked by Chambers & Partners.

The Role

Latitude is seeking highly entrepreneurial attorneys to join our team as partner-owners (equity partners) who will help us further expand our footprint across the U.S. This is not a traditional legal role. Instead, it’s an opportunity to build your own business within the Latitude platform, develop client relationships, and be directly responsible for your own success – without practicing law. If you are a successful attorney who enjoys developing client relationships, building a book of business, and being highly responsive to your clients, but you are less energized by practicing law than you once were, then this may be an ideal role for you.

As a Partner, you’ll co-own a Latitude operating company with its own P&L. With national infrastructure, capital, and a proven model, you’ll be given resources and playbooks that will enable you to grow your business your own way – without having to invest your own capital. Latitude Partners have significant autonomy, schedule flexibility, and a family-friendly schedule. You can structure your workday and work remotely if you choose.

But make no mistake: success in this performance-based, executive, client service role requires full-time professional focus. Practicing law on the side or managing other work commitments is incompatible with the demanding expectations and potential of this opportunity.

What Makes a Successful Partner:

Absolute Dedication to Getting It Right

Our clients include some of the largest, most successful companies and law firms in the world — from Fortune Global 500 corporations to elite boutiques, Am Law 100 and 200 firms, and high-growth companies. Latitude clients – which are typically CLOs, GCs, DGCs or other senior in-house counsel or law firm partners -- expect precisely matched talent, and the most successful Partners are phenomenal listeners who obsess over finding the right fit and ensuring that the both the client and talent we provide are highly satisfied.

Extreme Ownership and Responsiveness

As a Partner you must take full responsibility for the client experience, responding with urgency and focus as would be expected of a highly responsive law firm partner, including outside standard hours when necessary. Latitude’s value is grounded in our status as a trusted advisor, and that trust is earned by those who are highly discreet, take full ownership of every engagement and are dedicated to ensuring their clients needs are swiftly satisfied.

Relentless Drive to Build and Sell

You must thrive on business development — connecting with many decision-makers, talking about Latitude, and putting yourself out there. Having a strong legal network, especially among decision-makers at law firms and legal departments, can significantly accelerate your success.

What You’ll Do

Launch and lead a Latitude operating company
Build and nurture trusted relationships with law firms and in-house legal teams
Work collaboratively with your Latitude colleagues nationwide to select and propose elite attorneys for assignments with sophisticated clients and ensure that the client and attorneys are highly satisfied (this is a business leadership role — not a legal practice)
Represent the Latitude brand locally and nationally
Drive growth through proactive outreach, referrals, thought leadership, and market leadership

What We’re Looking For

Experience as a senior attorney in a law firm or corporate legal department
A strong network of legal decision-makers
Demonstrated business development potential and grit
High level of drive and individual initiative
An ownership mentality, discretion, and an abundance mindset
A strong desire to build something that’s yours — and grow it over time

Travel Requirements

While this role offers flexibility and the ability to frequently work from a home office (WFH) if desired, you must be able to frequently travel locally to meet with clients and prospective clients (e.g., at client offices, restaurants, at professional events, etc.). Occasional national travel is also required (e.g., legal conferences, partner meetings, etc.).

Compensation

Total Compensation Range: ˜$200k to $1M+ (Includes base salary, bonuses & incentives, and profit distributions)
First Year Base Salary: $150K to $250K depending on equity structure (Base salary scales down over time; designed as a bridge to profit distributions and long-term equity)
Bonuses & Incentives: Performance-based, designed as a bridge to profit distributions and long-term equity
Equity: Significant equity in your operating company (which varies depending on base salary amount).
Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, LTD, and 401(k)

Confidentiality & How To Apply

If you are interested in this role, you may apply online and/or you are welcome to directly email Latitude CRO Alex Su in confidence at asu@latitudelegal.com.
