Law Firm
London
Focus: Real Estate
If you’re looking for a senior BD role where you can genuinely shape strategy, influence senior stakeholders and make a visible impact across a major practice area – this is worth exploring. The culture is collaborative, commercial and built around trust rather than presenteeism.
This is a high-profile role supporting a well-established Real Estate practice with an impressive client base and ambitious growth plans. You’ll work closely with partners across the group, helping to drive strategic initiatives, strengthen key client relationships and identify new market opportunities.
It’s far more than a delivery-focused BD position. You’ll be heavily involved in practice planning, client development, cross-selling initiatives, bids and campaigns, while also helping partners think more strategically about how they position themselves in the market.
The right person will be confident operating at senior level, comfortable challenging ideas and able to bring fresh thinking and commercial perspective. You’ll have the opportunity to influence decision-making, shape priorities and become a trusted adviser to the partnership.
There’s also a leadership element to the role, with responsibility for mentoring and developing junior team members, while helping to create a collaborative and high-performing BD culture within the wider team.
Just as importantly, you’ll be joining a strong and supportive environment. The Head of BD is highly regarded, gives people autonomy and genuinely values ideas and contribution. BD is seen as a strategic function across the firm, meaning your input will be listened to and acted upon.
This would suit someone with strong legal BD experience within Real Estate, who’s looking for a broader strategic remit, greater visibility and the chance to play a meaningful role in the future growth of a key practice group.
The firm has a total headcount of around 500, all based under one roof in Central London. Despite its size, it consistently punches above its weight, continues to deliver record-breaking results and is on an exciting strategic growth journey with strong momentum across the business.
