A bit about us:

Portable Book of Business | Remote and flexible hours | CT Barred

This role can sit anywhere in the New England area but required a CT license

Our client is a respected Northeast regional law firm that has built its reputation on providing sophisticated legal services with a personalized, client-first approach. Rather than operating as a collection of individual practices, the firm fosters a highly collaborative environment where attorneys work together across offices and disciplines to deliver practical, business-focused solutions.

As the firm continues its strategic expansion throughout the Northeast, it remains committed to attracting entrepreneurial attorneys who want to contribute to that growth. Partners have the opportunity to help shape the future of the firm, expand their practices through a strong referral network, and collaborate with colleagues who are equally invested in long-term success.

Known for its approachable leadership, strong client relationships, and commitment to attorney development, the firm offers the resources of a larger regional platform while maintaining the flexibility, accessibility, and culture that attorneys value.

Why join us?

A respected Northeast regional law firm is seeking an experienced Commercial Real Estate & Business Transactions Partner to join its growing platform.

This opportunity is ideal for an entrepreneurial attorney who has built strong client relationships and is looking for a firm that provides the resources, collaboration, and platform needed to continue expanding their practice.

The ideal candidate will have an established portable book of business and a desire to play an active role in growing the firm's business and transactional practice.

Rather than simply maintaining an existing practice, this opportunity offers the ability to help shape the future of the platform, collaborate with attorneys across multiple disciplines, and have a meaningful voice in the continued growth of the firm.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Opportunity to bring and expand an established client base

Leverage a strong Northeast regional platform and established reputation

Collaborate with attorneys across litigation, employment, private client, and other practice areas

Create additional opportunities through cross-referrals and expanded client services

Have a voice in practice growth and strategic initiatives

Flexible work environment with autonomy to manage your practice

Competitive partner compensation structure focused on rewarding growth and client development

Opportunity to mentor attorneys and help build a growing practice group
