Healthcare Transactional Partner

Overview

We are working exclusively with a highly regarded Chicago-based law firm that is seeking a partner-level healthcare transactional attorney to play a key role in the continued growth of its healthcare practice.

This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented partner to step into a platform where client demand already exists , collaboration is built in, and firm leadership is invested in developing the next generation of practice leadership. While the role offers meaningful influence and long-term leadership potential, it is well-supported and does not require a fully developed standalone book of business.

The Opportunity

The firm has a strong, diversified client base across its corporate, IP, and real estate practices that consistently generates healthcare-related transactional and regulatory work. These clients are ready and waiting — the firm is seeking a partner who can deepen those relationships, lead deals, and help shape the future of its healthcare offering.

This role is ideal for a healthcare transactional attorney who enjoys building, collaborating, and growing — someone who wants to expand their practice within a sophisticated, established platform rather than operate in isolation.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle sophisticated healthcare transactional matters, including:
  • M&A
  • Joint ventures
  • Private equity–backed transactions
• Serve as lead deal attorney and trusted advisor to healthcare providers, operators, and investors
• Collaborate closely with corporate, IP, and real estate partners to support and expand healthcare work across the firm
• Contribute to the strategic growth and long-term direction of the healthcare practice
• Develop and strengthen client relationships, both existing and new

Candidate Profile

• Partner-level attorney with healthcare transactional experience (this role is not a fit for medical malpractice practices)
• Proven record of building and growing a client base
  • Some guaranteed portable business is expected, but a full book is not required
• Experience independently running complex transactions
• Working knowledge of key healthcare regulatory frameworks, such as:
  • Stark Law
  • Anti-Kickback Statute
  • Corporate practice of medicine
  • Licensing and related regulatory issues
• Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in long-term leadership and practice growth

Culture & Platform

The firm is known for being entrepreneurial, collaborative, and supportive. Partners have real autonomy, meaningful input, and strong backing from firm leadership. Infrastructure, marketing support, and cross-practice collaboration are all in place to support sustained growth and success.

This is a future-facing role for someone who wants to grow into leadership while leveraging a strong, existing firm platform.
