Employment Law Partner | Lateral Partner & Small Firm Merger Opportunities

$350 per month

Jobleads-US

Are you an established Employment Law Partner, solo practitioner, or small firm owner looking for a larger platform to grow your practice without giving up the independence you've built?

A growing, entrepreneurial law firm is seeking established Employment Law Partners and attorneys with portable books of business who are interested in joining forces with a firm that offers the infrastructure, resources, and business development support to take their practice to the next level.

This opportunity is particularly attractive to solo practitioners, boutique firm owners, and partners who have built successful practices but want to spend less time managing the business of law and more time serving clients and generating revenue.

Whether you're considering a lateral move, transitioning your solo practice, or exploring a potential merger for your small firm, this platform offers the flexibility, autonomy, and financial upside to make your next chapter even more successful.

Employment Law Partner | Benefits & Compensation

  • Highly competitive, revenue-driven partner compensation structure
  • Opportunity to transition an existing practice or explore a small firm merger
  • Retain significant autonomy over your clients, practice, and business development
  • Established infrastructure, administrative support, and operational resources
  • Dedicated marketing, branding, and business development support to help grow your book
  • Access to a broader network of attorneys and complementary practice areas for cross-referrals
  • Opportunity to expand your practice without the overhead and administrative responsibilities of running your own firm
  • Entrepreneurial, collaborative culture without unnecessary bureaucracy

Employment Law Partner | Requirements & Qualifications

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Licensed and in good standing to practice law in your state
  • Established Employment Law practice with a transferable book of business, ideally $350+
  • Current law firm partner, solo practitioner, boutique firm owner, or senior attorney with an established client base
  • Significant experience representing employers, executives, employees, or a combination of clients
  • Demonstrated ability to originate business and maintain long-standing client relationships
  • Ability to independently manage sophisticated employment law matters
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with an interest in growing an established practice
  • Open to exploring a lateral partnership, practice integration, or potential small firm merger

Employment Law Partner | Preferred Background & Skills

  • Established relationships with corporate clients, business owners, executives, or individuals requiring ongoing employment counsel
  • Experience representing management-side clients, plaintiff executives, or both
  • Strong background in employment litigation, workplace investigations, restrictive covenants, executive compensation, discrimination, and wage & hour matters
  • Experience operating a solo practice, managing a boutique law firm, or leading an employment law practice group
  • Interest in leveraging a larger firm's resources to expand an existing client base
  • Ability to identify cross-selling opportunities and collaborate with attorneys across complementary practice areas
  • Experience mentoring or managing associates is a plus

Employment Law Partner | Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Transition and continue managing your existing employment law practice within a larger, supportive platform
  • Maintain and expand relationships with your established clients while developing new business opportunities
  • Advise employers, executives, and other clients on employment-related legal matters
  • Oversee employment litigation, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage & hour, wrongful termination, and executive compensation disputes
  • Handle negotiations, mediations, depositions, hearings, and other litigation proceedings
  • Provide strategic employment counseling and draft employment agreements, separation agreements, and workplace policies
  • Collaborate with other partners and practice groups to create additional opportunities for your clients
  • Leverage the firm's marketing, operational, and business development resources to grow your practice
  • Help shape the continued expansion of the firm's Employment Law practice

Ready to Grow Your Practice Without Building Everything Yourself?

You’ve spent years building your reputation, developing client relationships, and establishing a successful practice. The next step shouldn't mean starting over.

Whether you're a partner considering a lateral move, a solo practitioner looking to eliminate overhead, or a boutique firm owner exploring a merger, this could be an opportunity to grow your business while maintaining the independence and client relationships that made you successful.

All inquiries and conversations will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
