Senior Counsel / Of Counsel / Partner Opportunities

The following information provides an overview of the skills, qualities, and qualifications needed for this role.

Am Law 200 Firms | Major U.S. Markets | Multiple Practice Areas

We are actively working with Am Law 200 firms seeking experienced attorneys for Senior Counsel, Of Counsel, Non-Equity Partner and select Equity Partner opportunities across major U.S. markets.

If you have built a sophisticated practice, developed meaningful client relationships and are considering whether another platform could provide better opportunities for growth, client development, cross-selling, resources or advancement , we would welcome a confidential conversation.

These are active client relationships and current lateral opportunities , including firms interested in experienced attorneys who bring both strong substantive capabilities and an established or developing book of business.

Candidate Profile

We are particularly interested in attorneys who offer:

  • 8+ years of sophisticated legal experience with an established practice or specialty
  • Current or prior experience with an Am Law firm, sophisticated regional firm or highly regarded specialty practice
  • A small to moderate portable book of business and/or meaningful transferable client relationships
  • Strong professional and academic credentials
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage sophisticated matters and client relationships
  • An interest in finding a platform that provides greater practice synergies, cross-selling opportunities, geographic reach and growth potential

Multiple Practice Areas - Current and prospective needs span a broad range of practices, including:

  • Corporate & Transactional – M&A, Private Equity, Finance, Capital Markets, Securities, Emerging Companies and Venture Capital
  • Litigation & Regulatory – Complex Commercial Litigation, White Collar & Investigations, Securities Litigation, Antitrust, Appellate, Government Contracts and Regulatory
  • Real Estate, Construction & Infrastructure – Commercial Real Estate, Real Estate Finance, Construction, Projects, Energy and Infrastructure
  • Intellectual Property & Technology – Patent, Trademark, Copyright, Trade Secrets, Technology Transactions, Privacy, Cybersecurity and AI

Additional Specialty Practices – Healthcare, Tax, Private Client/Trusts & Estates, Bankruptcy & Restructuring, Labor & Employment, International Trade and other specialized practices

What Our Clients Are Considering

Depending upon practice, market, experience and business case, our Am Law clients are considering attorneys for:

  • Senior Counsel
  • Of Counsel
  • Non-Equity Partner
  • Equity Partner
  • Counsel-level positions offering a defined path toward partnership

A multimillion-dollar book of business is not required for every opportunity . Several factors can create a compelling lateral case, including specialized expertise, existing client relationships, a modest portable practice, complementary clients and a credible opportunity to grow business on the new firm's platform.

Major U.S. Markets

Opportunities are available across major legal markets, including New York, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and other key markets

Multi-office and hybrid arrangements may also be available depending upon the firm and practice.

Considering a Move?

You don't need to have already decided to leave your current firm.

If you are a senior attorney who is actively considering a move—or ready to understand which Am Law platforms may have an immediate interest in your practice—we can begin that conversation now.

We work directly with law firm clients and can evaluate your practice, portable business, client relationships, market and career objectives against active opportunities and firm-specific strategic needs. xhyhwjd

All discussions are confidential, and your information will never be presented to a firm without your authorization.
