Counsel & Day 1 Partners Deacon Legal

Counsel & Day 1 Partners

As well as working extensively on horizontal lateral partner moves we have significant experience in working with counsel and senior associates who may or may not be on the immediate partnership track at their current firm and want to explore their options.

Law firms are increasingly open to hiring experienced senior lawyers as ‘Day 1’ partners—sometimes regardless of following, depending on the practice area.

Our extensive market knowledge and connections means that we can guide you towards the right teams and firms and assist you in putting your best foot forward.

In addition, with the ranks of equity and non-equity partner tiers rapidly expanding at some firms, we can offer guidance on which firms you should approach in order to achieve full partnership.

For more information on how we work, please contact a member of our Partner or Associate teams.
