We advise lateral partners who are strategic and Big Law, midsize and powerhouse boutique firms who are intentional about making them successful as they join forces in 2025. Working from a perspective we call "The Generationality of Work" in law firms today, we foster and facilitate conversations between lateral partners and acquiring firms to mutually beneficial paths of both short-term growth and long-term success. Whether you are a partner, group leader or owner of a small firm, our goal is to get you to the same "starting" conversation with an acquiring firm.
While a minimum book of portable business of $1MM-to-$3MM is preferred for most of our clients, there are some firms where the measure of potential is weighed more heavily. Boutique and some mid-sized firms require less. Compensation models include salary/draw (mid-to-high six figures) and a percentage of collected receivables from originations, service work and referred matters. All firms have liberal benefits packages that include health, LTD, wellness and other perks.
Current practices in demand include Construction (Transactional and Litigation), Commercial Litigation, Corporate (M&A), Intellectual Property (Patent, Trademark and other), Investment Funds / Investment Management, Labor & Employment, Professional Liability, Real Estate (Transactional & Litigation), Trusts and Estates and White Collar / Investigations.
