Law Firm Partner

What You'll Do: Win new clients and deepen existing relationships as the lead partner on each account. Run matters from the initial term sheet through closing, leading small, efficient teams. Introduce the firm's other practice groups to your clients and bring those clients onto the broader platform. Serve as the main senior contact for clients and the other side on complex deals. Coach and mentor associates and help shape the firm's growth. Oversee transaction documents and closing deliverables so deals stay on schedule.

What We're Looking For: Current partner status at a respected law firm, with at least 8 years in practice. A substantial book of business that can move with you. A demonstrated history of generating your own clients rather than only servicing relationships handed to you. A JD from an ABA-accredited law school. Active California bar membership, or willingness to obtain it. Capacity to take full ownership of a matter independently. A collaborative, sociable and entrepreneurial style that fits a close-knit boutique. Based in Los Angeles or willing to relocate there.

Bonus Points: Experience in corporate, real estate finance, intellectual property or employment law. Background in real estate lending and borrowing transactions, joint ventures and workouts, or in corporate acquisitions.
