Lead & build disputes & arbitration in a comparatively "greenfield site" , yet a large firm. Your new company
My client is a large UK firm and part of an eponymous international network. Recent strategic re-alignment of service-lines has led to the firm now going to market in solution groupings and there is now a genuine Consulting "ecosystem." Leadership at the top of the firm has for some time now been led by Advisory Partners and the UK firm has a long tradition of being renowned for its Corporate Finance and Restructuring services in particular. The firm's top line has now doubled, and strategically the next focus for investment is the Forensic function, which is currently focused primarily on investigations, fraud advisory, valuations and private client disputes.
Importantly, the firm is on a continued journey to change the lens through which it is viewed, from being an audit/tax firm with Consultancy, to a Consulting firm which happens to also have audit and tax. Investment and growth will therefore be pivoted to this ratio.
Your new role
This is an incredibly rare chance in this market to make genuine impact on the UK practice of an internationally recognised brand. Commercial Disputes is to date the most underdeveloped of the Forensic capabilities, due to having no London-based practitioner in the field. While it's widely acknowledged Expert work usually follows its Expert, brand and cross-specialism referrals still make a big difference both to opportunities and delivery capability and this firm's new streamlined approach to market ensures collaboration on projects and business development is much easier. The required infrastructure is already in place - team, FTech, marketing etc. There are 4 "pillars" in F&I: disputes, fraud risk, corporate investigations and FTech.
Forensic and Investigation services currently stands at around 40 people, headed by a newly joined ex Big 4 Partner. There is a genuine "blank slate" to develop the commercial disputes function to your own strategies.

What you'll need to succeed
A UK-based and experienced commercial disputes practitioner, you're likely to be at one of the following levels:
Director who is on or would like to be on Partnership track, but either way off the starting blocks in co-signing reports and being appointed in your own nameExperienced Director who is ready for first-rung Partner (the firm would make you this level on appointment)Existing salaried or equity Partner who may feel overly-conflicted or under-invested in their current firm, and would like the chance to lead, shape and build out a whole Forensic function, capitalising where applicable on the firm's major international presenceWhat you'll get in return
Simple, transparent Partnership reward structure.Building a business for yourself, not a PE houseKnowing that Advisory/Consultancy is understood and invested in from C-suite downwards - no having to explain why non-recurring fee income targets don't work like audit ones Enough testifying Experts in other disciplines to bounce ideas around with, yet knowing that Commercial Disputes is yours to develop freely and strategicallyA brand that is recognised across the globe, with boots on the ground in every country.A brand that is working hard for you in the background - no whitespace issues/having to explain who they are

What you need to do now
I appreciate a potential move at this level is sensitive and of course 100% confidential. I have a briefing document prepared for any potentially interested and relevant person, but I always think the best start is an exploratory phone call or meeting, which I'd warmly welcome and treat with complete discretion.

Role feels more like "mini Director" = autonomy with soft billing targets. Commensurate reward. Your new company
A Grade A firm with an international affiliation, this client has grown before, during and post pandemic - all credit to them that they never stopped hiring even in 2020. With a large Advisory function and comparatively low ratio of audit/tax clients (giving them in turn very few conflicts) the Forensic team has been given copious investment for further growth, and the firm has become a natural home for many Big 4 professionals who seek a faster pace, enhanced investment and a genuine seat at the strategic table. The Forensic team is lead by Partners with specialisms in Fraud, Commercial Disputes, Civil Disputes, Professional Negligence, Competition and Forensic Technology; the wider firm has recently launched a new Cyber service line as well.

Your new role
An organically created role, due to both promotion above and expansion, this will be working with and supporting the lead Fraud Partners in the team. There is a clear, short and meritocratic path to Director and beyond, and this team/firm have been exemplary at internal promotions to Partner. In casework terms, the firm has track record in attracting a competitively wide range of cases in terms of scale, from major/running for many years and cross-jurisdictional, through to smaller yet complex.
Covering the full range of civil, criminal and regulatory matters in fraud, bribery and corruption, their clients range from large multinational companies to HNWIs, as well as leading litigation and criminal law practices. Matters include false accounting, procurement fraud, theft, allegations of impropriety, banking and treasury fraud, c orporate fraud investigations; asset tracing; bribery and corruption investigations; criminal defence; POCA, regulatory investigations, private prosecutions, sanctions, ABC, DPA Monitorships and more. These matters have often been in international locations including EMEA and the Americas.
Sectors have included (inter alia) banking, technology, sport and leisure, retail, healthcare, technology & media, and Partners have expertise in appearing as Experts on many occasions, for example on POCA confiscation hearings.

What you'll need to succeed
You're likely to be an established Senior Manager who knows they are ready for that next step up. Either way, your Fraud/Investigations experience will have been gained mainly and recently in Professional Services; it's quite possible that within that you may have also spent time (on secondment or otherwise) in-house or at a regulator.
What you'll get in return
The feel of working for a boutique, which just happens to be part of a full-service firm
Low ratio of conflicts = varied and interesting work
Learning from both young and seasoned Partners
Investment in resources - this team is a proper "pyramid" structure and you really will have the resources underneath you to empower you to work at your level
Knowing you are in a firm where Advisory is core, with the investment that follows that
