Job description

Litigation Partner

Location: Multiple US Offices

Practice: Litigation

Level: Partner

We are working on a confidential basis with a leading international law firm looking to make strategic additions to its US Litigation practice across several key markets.

The firm is interested in established litigators who have built a strong practice and are looking for a platform that can provide greater reach, stronger cross-selling opportunities and the institutional support to accelerate further growth.

The Opportunity

The firm has a substantial national and international disputes platform, representing major corporations, financial institutions and other sophisticated clients in complex, high-value litigation.

Relevant practices may include complex commercial litigation, class actions, securities disputes, white collar and investigations, product liability and mass torts, antitrust, contentious M&A and other significant business disputes.

Of Particular Interest Are Partners Who

• Have an established and demonstrably portable practice
• Represent sophisticated institutional clients
• Have a strong record of originating and developing business
• Are ambitious about materially growing their practice
• Would benefit from greater cross-practice and cross-border opportunities
• Could potentially bring, recruit or develop a team around them
• Value collaboration while retaining autonomy over their practice

Why Consider the Platform?

The real attraction is the opportunity to build.

The firm has significant relationships with major institutional clients and considerable strength across complementary corporate, finance, private equity, restructuring, employment, regulatory, IP and tax practices. This creates genuine scope for an incoming litigation partner to broaden existing client relationships while also accessing opportunities generated elsewhere across the platform.

The firm is also highly focused on lateral partner growth. Incoming partners receive meaningful support around integration, internal introductions, client opportunities, business development and the wider strategy for expanding their practice.

For a partner who has built a successful book but feels constrained by the reach, conflicts, resources or cross-selling capabilities of their current firm, this could provide a significantly stronger platform for the next stage of their practice.

Compensation

Highly competitive and flexible, depending on the size, profitability and portability of the incoming practice.

All conversations will be treated with complete confidentiality.
