Private equity and M&A attorney recruiters.

Corporate, private equity, and M&A searches for law firms and sponsors nationwide. We match on the substance of your deal experience and run every search quietly.

How this market works

What a corporate search really turns on.

Deal experience is the currency

Firms and sponsors hire for the deals you have actually run, not the ones your group closed around you. We help you frame your role on real transactions so the right level of work is obvious on the first read.

Sponsor-side and firm-side are different searches

Moving from a firm to a fund is not a lateral, it is a career change. We know which funds hire from firms, what they pay, and how the day-to-day actually differs, so you go in with clear eyes.

Cycles move the market

Corporate hiring tracks deal flow, and windows open and close fast. We keep a live read on which groups are busy and hiring so your search lands when demand is real, not six months late.

Discretion protects the relationship

Corporate practices are small and partners talk. We run a targeted, quiet search so a conversation never gets back to your current group before you are ready.

Plain answers

Corporate questions, answered straight.

Do you place attorneys with private equity funds as well as firms?

Yes. We run both firm-side corporate and M&A searches and in-house searches at private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies. The evaluation is different for each, and we prepare you for the one you are actually pursuing.

What experience level do corporate and M&A searches target?

Everything from mid-level associates with a couple of years of deal reps through senior associates and partners with a portable book. What matters most is the substance of your transactional experience and how cleanly you can speak to it.
