Corporate & M&A.

M&A, private equity, capital markets and fund formation, for associates through equity partners across Am Law firms and elite transactional boutiques.

Most corporate partner moves never reach an advert.

Partner and senior associate hires in this market are rarely advertised. We identify opportunities around your experience, ambitions and priorities, then approach the firms where we see a genuine fit, on a no-names basis until you say otherwise.

One consultant owns this market, so you are speaking to someone who knows the firms, the key players and the nuances of each platform, rather than a coordinator passing you along.
