Head of Business Development

New Yesterday

Are you a senior business development professional in a law firm looking for a role with real influence? This is a chance to work closely with the Director of BD, who is also based in London. You’ll sit together day‑to‑day and work as true partners on strategy and delivery. You’ll lead a small team (3 managers, 2 Executives) and play a key role in shaping the firm’s approach to business development in London. It’s a balanced role – you’ll still be hands‑on, but you’ll also manage, mentor and think about the bigger picture. The London office operates with real autonomy. Ideas are developed and implemented locally, without needing constant sign‑off from the US – something that isn’t always the case in US‑headquartered firms. You’ll work closely with partners across key practices, helping them strengthen client relationships, pursue new opportunities and position themselves well in the market. The role blends strategy with delivery. You’ll advise lawyers on client targeting and pitches, oversee directory submissions, drive thought leadership and events, and support cross‑border initiatives. You’ll also manage and develop the London BD team. You don’t need to already be in a Head of role. This could suit a senior manager ready to step up. What matters most is sound judgement, credibility with partners and the confidence to lead in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment. What you can expect: A truly international, top‑tier law firmA senior, visible role with real strategic impactClose partnership with a highly regarded Director of BDA collaborative culture where client development is valuedThe opportunity to help shape how a global firm grows its client relationships This role would suit someone who enjoys ownership, influence and helping a leading law firm grow its international practice.
