with bucks. Growing practice, reasonable rates, merit oriented system, no debt,
yet some partners earn north of $1M. Preferred book: $1M (may show flexibility).
Our client will look at up and comers with smaller books.

Fortune 500 client base, a number of significant deals in play, effective
cross-selling between various offices, a low key environment, hands off
management style and major commitment requested. Book: $1M. May demonstrate
flexibility for up and comers.
4. Corporate
Partner (Los Angeles)
International full service well managed law firm with outstanding
Asia Pacific franchise, dynamic intellectual property department, outstanding
litigators and prominent corporate group would like to add critical mass to
their California offices. Book: $750K (may be flexible depending on years
practiced). (We are also looking for patent litigators, and business litigation
partners).
5. Corporate
Partner/Group
When we lunched with the firm’s chairman and met other senior
partners, we were impressed by how effectively the firm has balanced
touchy-feely people issues with bottom line profitability. While the Los Angeles
office is relatively new, the firm’s 700+ lawyers, 100+ year history and very
diverse client base shows attractive growth opportunities in California. While
the highest compensated partners can earn north of $1M, others who are not yet
at that level have not had to sacrifice quality of life issues. The opportunity
for growing one’s practice on their nickel is excellent. Practice: Securities,
M&A and general finance. The firm also has some interesting opportunities in
the real estate and finance area. Desired book: $750K.
6. Corporate
Associates (3-8 years, $160K-$235K+)
We are working closely with the corporate chair and /or managing
partners of these firms. (a) "No Asshole" rule (b) these firms are
extremely busy, despite the slow down. While some may screen candidates a little
closer, all are in growth modes (c) most offer reasonable partnership tracks
(7-10 years). Desired: a track record of accomplishment, strong interpersonal
skills, excellent credentials, 3-10 years experience.
