Lateral Partnership

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig is a veteran-owned business law firm, with the ability to advise clients on national and international matters while maintaining a community-centric culture. Our holistic approach to risk-free growth involves expanding your reach and hitting the ground running. Every lateral partner receives a tailored integration plan and is introduced to partners with synergetic practices to promote a genuinely collaborative work environment.

DBL is actively seeking lateral partners, at all seniority levels, who can bring and manage an established book of business. If you are a partner with a growing practice and seek more support and greater visibility than smaller firms can provide, we strongly encourage you to consider joining us.
