Corporate Associate (Houston)

Saltu is working with select corporate associates in Houston who are considering a strategic lateral move in early 2026 - whether in M&A, private equity, capital markets, finance, or general corporate. We understand the nuances of corporate groups : deal teams, workflow, culture, comp structures, and partnership tracks.

We help associates evaluate strong on-market opportunities and also develop a tailored plan to find or create off-market roles before they're posted (and before the applicant pool gets crowded).

Why Saltu?

Our founder is a former Kirkland and V&E attorney who built a team of colleagues uniquely tied to BigLaw and litigation boutiques. Our team is made up of alums from a variety of firms, law schools, and clerkship programs.

We work with attorneys who want a thoughtful, intentional process. Every firm outreach is authorized. And you'll have at least two team members working with you to understand your pain points and build a customized target-firm strategy.

Representative Reviews :

Corporate Senior Associate (AmLaw 50 AmLaw 15)

Saltu helped me move from an AmLaw 50 firm to an AmLaw 15 firm and as a result of this move, I expect to make Partner in this next cycle. The Saltu team really listened to my pain points with my current firm and worked with me to solve them accordingly. Having a team of former practitioners and current strategists was helpful. The position they found me was off-market, so the firm wasnt interviewing a lot of people. All in all, a great experience.

Corporate Midlevel Associate Review (Peer-to-Peer Move)

I moved between peer firms but Saltu helped me review the offer letter and as a result, I was able to get a 6-figure signing bonus in a market where none were being handed out. I worked with Saltu for over a year and turned down a few offers. Overall, I trusted the Saltu team and it paid off. They also helped me move between cities and negotiate my move details.
