Corporate / M&A – Senior Counsel, Of Counsel & Partner

Confidential Lateral Opportunities | National Law Firm Platforms

Location(s): Major Metro Markets | United States.

Oculus Group is interested in connecting with accomplished Corporate and M&A attorneys exploring the next stage of their legal careers.

Our legal recruiting practice works with Am Law 200 firms, national platforms, and select sophisticated boutique firms. We welcome confidential conversations with senior attorneys who are evaluating opportunities to expand their practices, gain access to additional resources, or transition to a platform better aligned with their professional and financial goals.

Ideal Background

• 12+ years of corporate legal experience, including M&A, commercial transactions, corporate governance, emerging companies, or outside general counsel advisory work.
• Prior experience with an Am Law 100/200 firm or comparable national legal platform preferred.
• Currently practicing as a Senior Counsel, Of Counsel, Income Partner, Equity Partner, or established Outside General Counsel.
• Established client relationships, business development capabilities, or a portable practice.
• Interest in leveraging a larger platform, broader geographic reach, enhanced associate support, or cross-selling opportunities.

Portable Business

We welcome conversations with attorneys across a range of established practices, including those generating $250K to $2M+ in annual portable business. Attorneys with larger practices or substantial growth potential are equally encouraged to connect.

Why Explore a Conversation?

A lateral move should offer more than a new firm name. The right platform can provide expanded client service capabilities, stronger transactional support, improved economics, and opportunities for continued practice growth.

All initial conversations will be handled confidentially. No candidate information will be shared with a prospective firm without prior authorization.
