Our client is a full-service global law firm with a strong cross border Corporate M&A practice, focussed on serving the mid-market with transactions ranging from c$200m to $1b, acting for household name corporates as well as market leading PE houses. The firm is truly international and has nearly 50 integrated offices globally.
The US Corporate practice is the firm’s engine room and houses the Private Equity practice. However, as part of the strategy, the firm wishes to separate this part of the practice and create a dedicated PE team.
This role represents an opportunity for someone with ambition and great leadership skills to join as Head of PE and to develop and implement the strategy for growth, building the team in the USA, working closely with management, and with the European PE team, who have already made this transition in Europe and have achieved significant market recognition.
The firm’s US and global offices work in a collaborative and integrated way which helps the Corporate team to support their clients’ needs across different specialisms and jurisdictions.
The firm is financially in a great position with revenues exceeding $1.3 billion. It is well managed and very profitable and they are ready to invest in this project and the partner leading it.
