Partner — Private Advisory

Partner — Private Advisory

New York · Select Global Markets

THE FIRM

Ladd & Co. is a private advisory practice serving entrepreneurs, principals, and multi-generational families across transactions, capital strategy, structuring, and the management of sensitive matters across jurisdictions.

The firm advises on M&A, capital placement, co-investment, international structuring, and the resolution of complex cross-border matters. Clients include ultra-high-net-worth families, single and multi-family offices, private holding companies, and institutional investors.

The firm operates across New York, Palm Beach, George Town, London, Zürich, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are selectively appointing Partners in key markets to originate and lead client relationships on behalf of the firm.

This is a principal-level arrangement for experienced professionals with established networks among business owners, family offices, and private institutions. Partners operate under the Ladd & Co. brand with full platform support — deal infrastructure, execution capability, global coordination, and institutional-quality materials. In return, they bring relationships, commercial judgment, and the ability to identify and develop high-quality advisory engagements.

This is not a salaried position. Partners participate directly and meaningfully in the economics of the engagements they originate. The structure is designed for individuals who have the network to generate significant mandates and prefer to be compensated based on what they produce.

SCOPE

— Originate advisory and transaction mandates within your market and sector focus

— Develop and maintain relationships with prospective clients and referral sources

— Represent the firm in client meetings, introductions, and negotiations

— Coordinate with the firm’s execution team on live engagements

— Contribute to the firm’s broader network and client platform over time

COMPENSATION

Partners earn a substantial share of advisory fees on mandates they originate. There is no base salary or retainer. The economics of a single successful engagement at this level are significant — the structure rewards those who bring genuine capability and relationships rather than activity.

Specific terms are discussed directly with qualified candidates.

PROFILE

— Established network among business owners, family offices, institutional investors, or referral professionals (private bankers, trust and estate lawyers, accounting firm partners)

— Direct experience in M&A advisory, capital placement, investment banking, private banking, or a related discipline

— Credibility and presence to represent the firm at the most senior level

— Based in or deeply connected to the New York market, with broader U.S. or international connectivity valued

— Commercially driven, self-directed, and motivated by building something within a serious, independent platform

This is not suited to those seeking traditional employment. It is suited to experienced professionals who recognise the value of operating under a credible, globally-connected advisory brand — and who have the network and instinct to make it productive.

All enquiries are treated in strict confidence. The firm evaluates prospective Partners through a structured assessment period, typically involving collaboration on a live matter, before any formal arrangement is confirmed.
