Corporate / M&A / Private Equity Partner | US law firm | London

Job Description

Help drive the next stage of growth for a highly profitable US firm in London.

A US law firm with real momentum in London wants a corporate partner to help shape the next chapter of its London practice. This isn’t a seat at the end of a long table. You’d be one of the partners who builds it.

A firm on the rise

This is a top-100 US firm with close to $1bn in revenue, strong margins and profit per partner up by around a quarter last year. It has a clear plan to keep growing profitability, and London is central to that. The London office is one of the fastest-growing US-firm offices in the City, and the firm now wants to turn that growth into a more profitable, partner-led corporate practice. That means real investment, real support from the US, and a genuine say in how the London practice develops.

Why it stands out

• Genuine cross-selling. Practices run across the US and London, so US colleagues bring you into deals and you bring them into yours.
• The right clients, from European businesses doing deals in the US to global groups with US needs.
• Sectors they’re investing in: healthcare, life sciences, technology, consumer and retail, media and entertainment, and manufacturing.
• A short path to a decision. You meet the practice heads who decide, not a committee.
• Room to bring your team. Associates who work with you are welcome too.

Who they’re looking for

• A corporate, M&A or PE partner with a London practice and a portable client following.
• Cross-border work, ideally with time at a US firm or in the US.
• Someone who wants to build, not just maintain.

The package

Highly competitive partner terms, on a platform built to help you grow your book.
