Opening a restructuring practice in a new city usually means a year of thin billing and a nervous partnership.
Not here.
The firm already runs a busy, profitable restructuring team elsewhere in its network - the work exists and is paying, it simply has nobody covering it from Leeds.
So the role does two things at once: feeding that established caseload from day one, and building a local practice that doesn't yet exist.
No internal competition for work, credit or clients.
Partnership is the declared destination, targeted within 12 to 24 months, and the firm has been unusually specific about the test: a kernel of a practice and a real appetite to build a team around it is all that is required.
A fully formed following is not the requirement.
The business case is not the obstacle.
It suits someone whose route to partnership has stalled for reasons that had little to do with their ability and who would rather build an office practice than simply bill for one.
