We Close the Information Gap
Parity One gives M&A associates at top New York firms the market intelligence their partners have but don't share.
Built to close the gap. M&A associates deserve better information
Parity One was founded because the information asymmetry between partners and associates in M&A is real and costly. We saw associates at top London and New York firms making critical career decisions without the full picture their firms had. We built Parity One to change that, starting with years 3–5 M&A associates who needed honest, data-driven visibility into their market value, partnership prospects, and move timing. It's straightforward: better information leads to better decisions.
Built by market intelligence experts
The Parity One team combines deep M&A experience with data analytics expertise to deliver honest, actionable market intelligence you won't find elsewhere.

Common questions about Parity One
Find answers about our services, process, and how we help M&A associates understand their true market value.
Who is Parity One designed for?
We work with M&A associates at years three through five at top New York law firms. You're in sponsor-side or target-side M&A, comparing your options, and want a clear picture of your market value and partnership prospects before making a move.
What makes your market value assessment different?
We don't run generic surveys. We analyze your specific profile - your deal experience, firm track record, practice group trajectory - against real lateral movement data and current hiring patterns across BigLaw, in-house, and financial institutions right now.
How do you assess partnership odds?
We review your firm's promotion data, class size, recent partner elections, and your practice group's direction. You get the same information your partners use to evaluate candidates - not speculation, but actual firm patterns and timeframes.
What is lateral intelligence and how does it help?
Lateral intelligence shows you where the market is moving in real time. Which firms are building M&A capacity, which are contracting, which in-house roles are genuine GC tracks. You'll know which moves make sense before opportunities close.
Do you help with the move itself?
Yes. If you decide it's time to move, we provide direct access to opportunities that don't reach the open market. We also manage the process with discretion and ensure you understand your leverage and timing.
How does confidentiality work?
Your briefing is private and confidential. We don't share information about you with firms, partners, or recruiters. You control every next step, and we only activate introductions when you're ready.
