Los Angeles
National firm, extremely profitable, with a most unusual business model. In addition, a strong case can be made that several hundred thousand dollars of business with existing clients is presently being left on the table, or farmed out to other offices. In short, this is a great opportunity to expand ones practice. This firm has a client base to kill for – leading entertainment and technology companies, Fortune 100 and 500 conglomerates, emerging growth, biotech and life science companies, health care organizations, etc. This is a young ground floor operation of a major firm that is building an outstanding team. Finding the partner to run their labor group in L.A. is their top priority. The chairman and national labor chair will be in town soon. A partner with a growing and/or self-sustaining book would be preferred.
