Really rare role where you can work wholly one large case for at least the 1st year; longer if desired.

Your new company
My client is an Advisory/Accounting firm with a higher Advisory ratio than any comparable entity. This is partly due to their lower than usual audit gearing, and the advisory clients being typically larger in size than the assurance ones. Big firm partners who have joined the Advisory stream have found themselves rarely conflicted, which in turn has fuelled further growth. Lead Advisory, Transaction Services, Corporate Recovery/Restructuring, Valuations and Forensic are all well-developed and represented here, with significant investment for further expansion.
The Forensic function is rare in the market as being very well-balanced between Fraud and Financial Crime, Disputes/Arbitration/ Contentious Valuations, Professional Negligence, Competion and F Tech. Adjacent are newer functions in Data Analytics and Cyber. Growth in this function has seen them with 1-2 Partners heading each of those categories and they continue to develop new specialisms by Partner acquisition.

Your new role The Fraud and Financial Crime function attract heavyweight cases and one in particular has been running for several years, with Civil and Criminal work-streams. The Financial Crime partner would now like to bring in a Senior Manager to be wholly/mainly dedicated to this case, whose client is the Attorney General of the relevant jurisdiction. Once the first year is done, you would then have the choice of continuing on that case, or being replaced so you can roll off onto other projects.

Open goal to Partner, in a TRUE partnership, and consistently busy disputes/forensic function

Your new company
I’ve helped this client build out their incredibly successful, busy, and consistently growing Forensic team and am delighted they are now ready to bring in a de facto partner designate. More on that below. The firm is full-service accounting/advisory with impressive year-on-year growth (mainly organic with the occasional acquisition) but with very few conflicts and a track record of growing successful Advisory businesses (I can give an example of a JV acquired a few years ago which became the landing point for a key US firm in the UK.) There is a whole-firm culture around career sponsorship, so your mentor/s are not “just” a key Partner in your own team. Nonetheless, the lead Forensic Partner is a great example of someone who deliberately chose to leave a large firm at Director level and has achieved Expert, Partner and now equity Partner all within this firm. They have given evidence many times now, and as a “new gen” Partner will be the ideal role model to guide you through the same path.
The Forensic/Valuations team attracts a really broad range of mandates across quantum/damages, valuation (contentious and non-contentious) and investigations. The average size of law firm referring has increased significantly in recent times and in consequence firms “on the other side” are typically larger too. I can speak to the calibre of the delivery team, many of whom have deliberately chosen to join from bigger firms to accelerate their progress.
Business development activities for the team lean towards imaginative and creative as opposed to “flashy” and client take-up is high as a result.
