Business Development

New opportunity: Business Development Executive | London

Are you ready to take more ownership of your work and build a long-term career in legal business development?

I’m working with a highly regarded London law firm that is looking for a Business Development Executive to join its Clients & Markets team.

This is a genuinely hands-on role where you’ll help partners turn client and market opportunities into action. You’ll lead defined targeting initiatives, support client development, manage pitches and proposals, deliver campaigns and identify cross-selling opportunities across the firm.

There’s also a strong commercial focus. You’ll use market and competitor insight to shape activity, track opportunities through the pipeline and report on what’s working. You’ll have the freedom to suggest better ways of doing things, from improving processes and templates to making smarter use of data and technology.

The firm is looking for someone with business development or marketing experience, ideally gained within legal or professional services. You’ll need strong writing, research and project management skills, as well as the confidence to build relationships with lawyers and keep projects moving.

What makes this opportunity particularly appealing is the investment in your development. You’ll receive structured training, close mentoring from senior colleagues and the chance to take on more responsibility as your experience grows.

It’s a great move for someone who is commercially curious, enjoys seeing projects through from brief to outcome and wants to make a visible contribution within a collaborative team.
