Partnership for senior associates with client followings

Job Title: Partnership for senior associates with client followings

Salary: £120,000-200,000

PQE Level: Partner

Contract Type: Permanent

Working Hours: Full-time

Chadwick Nott has longstanding relationships spanning over 20 years with leading boutique City and West End law firms.

Many of these firms, known for their high quality of work, profitability, and earning potential, are interested in recruiting talented senior associates (minimum 8 PQE) who have an existing client following and the ambition to build a significant practice.

The level of client following required will depend on remuneration; our clients are interested in clients valued in the £300-500k range and will want to understand why you believe these clients will follow you.

At this level, you are close to partnership at your current firm, but partnership may not be achievable or might be 1-2 years away due to circumstances outside your control.

The emphasis on a client following is because these firms are expanding and need someone with strong business development and relationship-building skills. These roles are not solely 'book of business' hires; you will also work on the firm's existing client base and may be involved in succession planning.

Successful candidates will have a minimum of 8 years PQE, gained within a UK City or West End law firm, and must be qualified solicitors in England & Wales.

You might be currently working at a boutique firm or a Top 50 City or US law firm, seeking a more entrepreneurial platform, confident that your clients choose you for your personal brand rather than institutional clients.

I can provide extensive guidance on building a business case and business planning, and I am available as a sounding board for lawyers at this level assessing whether to move for immediate partnership or stay at their current firm.
