LITIGATION
Litigation is one of the deepest and most varied lateral markets in US private practice.
Unlike transactional practices, litigation careers are shaped as much by the type of disputes handled as by firm pedigree. Commercial litigation, securities, white collar, mass torts — each has a different talent market and a different set of firms competing for the best laterals. At the associate level, we work with litigators from strong platforms looking for better work, better culture, or a clearer path to partnership. Federal court experience is increasingly valuable, particularly in New York and DC. At the senior end, we handle searches for counsel and partners — including those with portable books of business. Washington DC is one of the most active litigation lateral markets in the country, driven by regulatory work, government enforcement, and appellate practices. We have a particular focus there alongside New York and Chicago.
A short, confidential conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Reach out and we'll take it from there.
CONFIDENTIALITY COMMITMENT
Your current employer will never be contacted. Your name goes nowhere without your permission. You can stop the process at any point.
WHAT FIRMS TYPICALLY LOOK FOR
Experience
Federal court experience valued. Trial experience increasingly rare and highly sought at senior levels.
Subspecialty
Securities, white collar, mass torts, commercial — firms often hire into specific practices.
Clerkship
Federal clerkship background remains a significant differentiator at top-tier firms.
Market
New York, Washington DC, Chicago most active. LA increasingly competitive.
