Partner, Portable Book of Business

About the Role

A full-service law firm is seeking an experienced partner with a portable book of business to join its expanding New Jersey and New York practices. The opportunity is open across practice areas, with a particular focus on commercial and transactional real estate, and offers a platform for client growth, collaboration, and cross-practice work.

What You'll Do

• Bring and grow a portable book of business using the firm's full-service platform and cross-selling opportunities.

• Develop and execute a business development plan with marketing support.

• Advise clients with a practical, business-oriented approach that considers strategy, efficiency, and value.

• Mentor and train associates and counsel on client matters.

• For qualified real estate partners, consider department leadership opportunities as senior leadership transitions.

What We're Looking For

• Eight to 15 years of experience as a partner.

• A portable book with at least $500,000 in documented originations over the past two to three years, based on personally originated clients rather than institutional or relationship credit.

• Experience in New Jersey commercial or transactional real estate; partners with a New York real estate focus and a book of at least $1 million are also of interest.

• A stable career history, a client book that clears conflicts, and billing rates suited to a New Jersey platform.

• A collaborative, collegial approach to client relationships, negotiating, and billing.

• For New York-based candidates at associate or counsel level, an accompanying partner's book is required.

• Eligibility to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $250,000 to $500,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Hybrid role based in New York, with opportunities connected to New Jersey offices.
