• Represent the firm at industry events, networking opportunities and client meetings
• Conduct research to identify trends, what competitors are doing and client needs.

About you

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience within business development (ideally within legal but will also consider professional services experience)
• Experienced in pitch management – you must be able to pick up a pitch and run with it
• Proven ability in leading a department from a BD perspective
• You will be adaptable, confident and enthusiastic with an ability to forge strong relationships
• A book of contacts/network will be highly regarded (Real estate, family & private client is a large part of their practice)
