Where you’ll work

This is a new role for an enthusiastic and creative business development and marketing professional to support the continued growth of the firm’s business in the Midlands and North West. Our Birmingham and Manchester offices have over 130 fee earners combined and advise on a wide range of services including real estate, corporate and commercial, construction, public sector, finance, dispute resolution and employment.

Reporting to a Senior Business Development Manager in the team, the role includes some shared management responsibilities including project management, delegation and overseeing work across the team.
