Latitude Partner, Client Services (Non-Practicing Attorney) - Houston

Overview

The organization is seeking highly entrepreneurial attorneys to join as partner-owners.

This role involves co-owning a business unit with its own P&L. Partners build and deepen client relationships, act as the client’s trusted proxy in selecting the right attorneys for each engagement, and take full ownership of ensuring each engagement is successful for both the client and the talent.

This is a full-time, client-side opportunity—without practicing law.

Responsibilities

• Launch and lead an operating company, then build a book of business and a team over time.
• Develop and deepen client relationships in your home market and across the country as a trusted, expert presence.
• Serve as the client’s proxy: understand each client need and select the precisely right attorneys for each engagement (collaborating with colleagues nationwide).
• Own engagements end to end, ensuring high satisfaction for both client and talent.
• Build, grow, and lead your own team over time.
• Respond with calm urgency and discretion, including outside standard hours when it matters.

Requirements

• Experience as a successful senior attorney—partner, counsel, or senior in-house lawyer—with a strong reputation among legal decision-makers.
• Genuine appetite for client-relationship management and business-building, including initiative to generate your own opportunities.
• Exceptional responsiveness, discretion, judgment, and attention to detail.
• Desire to build something that is truly your own and grow it over time.
• Full-time professional focus; practicing law on the side or managing other work commitments is incompatible with this opportunity.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to generate and sustain demand through established trust and delivery.
• Strong professional network of legal decision-makers.

Compensation & Benefits

• First-year base salary: $175K to $225K depending on equity structure (base salary is designed as a bridge to profit distributions and long-term equity; base scales down over time as distributions grow).
• Total compensation range: approximately $175K to $1M+ annually (base salary, performance bonuses and incentives, profit distributions, and equity tied to performance).
• Equity ownership opportunity in the operating company.
• Benefits: comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, LTD, and 401(k).
• Time off: as an owner, partners manage their own schedules and time off—there is no fixed PTO allotment.
• Paid sick leave provided in accordance with applicable state and local law.

Location & Flexibility

• Work is largely home-office flexible if you choose.
• Requires frequent local travel to meet clients and prospective clients (offices, professional events, and occasional informal meetings).
• Occasional national travel for conferences and partner meetings.

Application Process

• Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
• Candidates may be invited to complete a brief exercise designed to help them hit the ground running.
