I am currently working with the leadership of several elite Am Law firms to identify top-tier International Trade associates for multiple high-priority, unposted needs in Washington, DC.

These are not just jobs. These are career-defining opportunities at firms with nationally recognized International Trade practices and a genuine investment in their people.

Highlights

Exceptional Compensation: Cravath scale pay plus strong bonus structures — at the very top of the market.

Real Partnership Track: These firms promote from within. You'll work directly with partners who are leaders in the International Trade space and invested in your long-term growth.

Mentorship-Driven Culture: Lean, collaborative teams where your contribution is visible and your development is prioritized from day one.

Flexibility Built In: Hybrid work arrangements across DC offices.

If you are open to a confidential state of the market conversation — whether the timing is right or not — I'd love to connect.
