We’ve been exclusively retained by a high-growth boutique law firm based on Fifth Avenue in New York City. With over $8M in annual revenue, elite clientele, and a fast-moving, no-politics culture, this firm is scaling its transactional practice and building a high-performance team of partners.

We’re seeking a Partner-Level Transactional Attorney to lead and grow the firm’s platform in real estate, private equity, and general corporate deals. This is a rare opportunity to join a firm where autonomy, client trust, and execution matter more than bureaucracy or hierarchy.

Partner-Level Transactional Attorney Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation: base + origination + percentage of collections
  • Transparent path to equity and long-term leadership
  • 10,000 sq ft Fifth Avenue office — polished, client-facing environment
  • Full back-office support (admin, paralegals, tech, research)
  • Business development and marketing budget
  • Work directly with firm leadership — no layers or red tape
  • Freedom to build and lead your own team
  • Opportunity to cross-sell into litigation, restructuring, and white collar matters

Partner-Level Transactional Attorney Requirements & Qualifications:

  • Active NY Bar license, in good standing
  • Minimum $1M in portable business in real estate, private equity, or general commercial transactions
  • 10+ years of experience handling complex transactions from origination to close
  • Experience structuring and negotiating JV agreements, investment deals, or real estate/finance transactions
  • In-office presence required
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — must be able to operate independently while collaborating with senior leadership
  • Trusted by clients and known for execution under pressure

Partner-Level Transactional Attorney Preferred Background & Skills:

  • Background at a boutique or Am Law firm
  • Exposure to distressed assets, transactional litigation, or M&A in special situations
  • Familiarity with high-net-worth individuals, family offices, or institutional investors
  • Interest in mentoring junior attorneys and helping scale the practice
  • Crossover experience with litigation or restructuring is a plus

If you’re a proven dealmaker with a book of business and a desire to build something meaningful—this is the platform. We’ve been exclusively retained to lead this search and are moving quickly. Bring your book, your edge, and your vision.
