What are the responsibilities and job description for the Kansas City - Latitude Partner & Office Leader (Non-Practicing Attorney) position at Latitude Legal?
About Latitude
Latitude provides high caliber attorneys and other legal professionals to legal departments and law firms nationwide. We provide practice-specific contract attorneys who have served as associates, counsel, and partners in Am Law firms and/or as in-house counsel in large corporate legal departments. We also assist many of our clients with permanent positions, including general counsel searches. Our clients range from Fortune Global 500 companies and Global 100 law firms to high-growth privately-held companies, major non-profits, government entities, and boutique law firms.
Latitude Partners are all former senior lawyers at law firms or legal departments, and have extensive community ties, practice experience and professional relationships. Latitude has offices in multiple cities across the United States and more than 5,000 attorneys in our talent pool (including attorneys in all 50 states). We are also globally ranked by Chambers & Partners.
The Role
Latitude is seeking highly entrepreneurial attorneys to join our team as partner-owners who will help us expand our footprint across the U.S. This is not a traditional legal role. Instead, it’s an opportunity to build your own business within the Latitude platform, develop client relationships, and be directly responsible for your own success.
As a Partner, you’ll co-own a Latitude operating company with its own P&L. With access to capital, national infrastructure, and a proven model, you’ll be given resources and playbooks that will enable you to grow your business your own way. While Latitude Partners have significant autonomy, flexibility, and a family-friendly schedule, success in this performance-based role requires full-time professional focus. Practicing law on the side or managing other work commitments is incompatible with the expectations and potential of this opportunity.
What Makes a Successful Partner:
What You’ll Do
If you are interested in this role, you may apply online and/or you are welcome to directly email Alex Su in confidence at asu@latitudelegal.com. Interested candidates may then be asked to complete a sales exercise that enables them to hit the ground running as a Latitude Partner.
