The most consequential move in the profession.
Partner-level moves are treated that way here. We work a small number of mandates at a time, across borders, practice areas, and seniority — and we work them as one team. Market knowledge is pooled, candidates are presented together, and the whole firm’s view of your firm is brought to bear, the way a well-run practice group works rather than a set of individual profit centers.
Advisors first, recruiters second
With many firms we have earned a seat on the strategic questions — which practices to build, which markets to enter, which groups to pursue — long before a search begins. For individual partners, that same view lets us say which platforms will actually carry a practice, and which only look like they will.
Led from within the firm
Our partner practice is led by Tim Marshall as Senior Strategic Advisor, alongside Managing Partners Natalie Rosenberg and Susi Shaw. Tim founded Marshall Search in London and has spent more than twenty years focused exclusively on partner-level strategic lateral growth across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. For the most strategic and high-priority assignments, that depth sits inside the team rather than at the end of a referral.
What we take on
Every mandate is run as a search, not a referral. The work includes:
- Individual partner and team hiring
- Strategic senior-level partner hiring
- Group moves
- Office start-ups
- Practice build-outs
For partners considering a move
Every conversation begins in confidence and proceeds at your pace. We help you weigh platforms honestly — origination, culture, strategic direction — and once a move is agreed, we plan the integration with the same care as the search. Nothing reaches the market without your say-so.
