M&A PartnerWe met with the Managing Partner of this longtime top firm client this week, and this search is a top priority. This is a long-term client of ours, and their needs are red hot and the team’s deal flow has been phenomenal. Work is going great, and the firm is now looking to deepen its Private Equity M&A bench with an additional high-caliber Partner to sustain their growth. Required book is flexible. This is more about reputation than portable business.
About the RoleThis position offers the opportunity to join a busy, high-performing M&A practice with an AmLaw 100 Ranked Firm in Houston. This Client handles sophisticated transactions across a range of industries and the group is known for representing top-tier clients in both domestic and cross-border deals. This opportunity provides meaningful responsibility from day one.Ideal Candidate

• 8–15 years of solid M&A or private equity experience from a top law firm
• Excellent drafting, negotiation, and communication skills
• Strong academic background and proven deal experience
• A team-oriented mindset and enthusiasm for a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Why This Role Stands OutWe know this firm exceptionally well. They’re a long-term Kinney client with a track record of steady growth. This firm calls us when they want to target specific candidates, and takes our candidates seriously (because we do not waste their time or yours if the fit is not right). The partners invest heavily in training and mentorship, and the firm’s culture blends top-tier deal sophistication with a collegial, down-to-earth atmosphere. Compensation is highly competitive and reflects the firm’s commitment to attracting and retaining elite talent.
