An AmLaw 100 firm is seeking to add a junior partner (no portable book requirement) to its M&A and Private Equity practice in Miami.

- Robust business development support, including a significant marketing budget and leadership that actively helps young partners build their practices.
- Greater rate flexibility than many peer firms, making it easier to cultivate new client relationships.
- Competitive compensation (~$350-500K all-in), depending on experience and seniority (any portable business to be compensated accordingly).
- Clear path to shareholder partnership, with transparent metrics and a clear timeline for those joining at the member level.
Qualifications:
- JD from an accredited law school and admission to practice in at least one US jurisdiction (FL preferred);
- 10+ years of corporate transactional experience, ideally with a large law firm or sophisticated transactional practice;
- Significant experience advising clients on M&A transactions, including representing buyers, sellers, and private equity sponsors in acquisitions and divestitures;
- Experience drafting and negotiating complex transactional and commercial agreements;
- Ability to manage sophisticated transactions and coordinate across deal teams, advisors, and stakeholders;
