Job description

Partner — Private Advisory · Select Global Markets

THE FIRM

Ladd & Co. is a private advisory practice serving entrepreneurs, principals, and multi-generational families across transactions, capital strategy, structuring, and the management of sensitive matters across jurisdictions.

The firm advises on M&A, capital placement, co-investment, international structuring, and the resolution of complex cross-border matters. Clients include ultra-high-net-worth families, single and multi-family offices, private holding companies, and institutional investors.

The firm operates across New York, Palm Beach, George Town, London, Zürich, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are selectively appointing Partners in key markets to originate and lead client relationships on behalf of the firm.

This is a principal-level arrangement for experienced professionals with established networks among business owners, family offices, and private institutions. Partners operate under the Ladd & Co. brand with full platform support — deal infrastructure, execution capability, global coordination, and institutional-quality materials. In return, they bring relationships, commercial judgment, and the ability to identify and develop high-quality advisory engagements.

This is not a salaried position. Partners participate directly and meaningfully in the economics of the engagements they originate. The economics of a single successful engagement at this level are significant — this is a principal-level arrangement, not a commission role.

COMPENSATION

Partners earn a substantial share of advisory fees on mandates they originate. There is no base salary or retainer. The structure is designed for individuals who have the network to generate significant mandates and prefer to be compensated based on what they produce.

Specific terms are discussed directly with qualified candidates.

PROFILE

• Established network among business owners, family offices, institutional investors, or referral professionals (private bankers, trust and estate lawyers, accounting firm partners)
• Direct experience in M&A advisory, capital placement, investment banking, private banking, or a related discipline
• Credibility and presence to represent the firm at the most senior level
• Based in or deeply connected to your city/region, with broader international connectivity valued
• Commercially driven, self-directed, and motivated by building something within a serious, independent platform
