Job description

I'm working with one of the fastest-growing Am Law 200 firms in the US, looking to attract an ambitious Corporate Partner to its expanding Denver office.

This isn't growth for the sake of growth: the firm has increased revenues by 144% since 2020, ranked in the top five of the Am Law 200 for revenue growth four times in five years, and has been investing heavily in its people, technology and national platform.

The Denver office has seen particularly significant expansion, and there is a genuine appetite for entrepreneurial partners who want to help shape what comes next.

For partners at larger firms, this could be an opportunity to step away from the politics, bureaucracy and internal competition, take greater ownership of your practice and have a meaningful say in the direction of a growing business. There is real scope for leadership rather than simply being another name on the partnership list.

For partners at smaller firms, it's an opportunity to retain that entrepreneurial freedom and close-knit, collegial atmosphere, but with the backing of a much larger national platform, deeper bench strength, cross-selling opportunities and genuine investment in growing your practice.

The culture is a major selling point. Collaborative, approachable and refreshingly low on ego, with a reported 97% attorney satisfaction rate. This is a firm that actively encourages its partners to build, develop and lead, rather than simply service the work in front of them.

There's also a serious commitment to business development, including structured programmes designed to help partners substantially grow their client base.

In terms of what we're looking for:

• Corporate Partners with an established practice of circa $1m+ would be of particular interest for an equity opportunity.
• Partners with smaller books, or senior lawyers with a credible plan and genuine appetite to build a practice, could be considered for a non-equity role with a longer-term equity ambition.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, commercial approach and interest in helping develop the Denver practice are just as important as the numbers.

This isn't about finding somewhere to park an existing book. It's about joining a firm with momentum, ambition and the resources to help you build something significantly bigger.

If you're a Corporate Partner in Denver who feels you've outgrown your current platform, or you're simply not getting the autonomy, support or recognition you deserve, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.

You might be surprised by what's available outside the usual suspects.
