About us:

Linklaters is a multi-national commercial law firm, with 31 offices in 21 countries worldwide.

We have been named as one of The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Women, recognised by Stonewall as a top employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion, and by the Social Mobility Employer Index as a top employer for advancing social mobility. 

We recognise that one size does not fit all. Our goal is to embed flexibility across our firm by giving everyone the opportunity to work in an agile way, whether as a regular pattern or on an ad hoc basis, and we will be happy to discuss this further.

We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the legal industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! At Linklaters, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.

About the role:

As a Business Development & Marketing Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in supporting our Banking practice across three core areas: Corporate & Structured Lending, Leveraged Finance, and Restructuring & Insolvency.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the Senior BDM Manager and BDM Manager to develop and implement Business Development plans in alignment with the Banking business plan.

• Identifying key sponsorship and membership opportunities to boost the group's profile.
• Organising client-oriented seminars and roundtable events related to specific products or markets.

We are ideally looking for:

• Previous experience in a similar level role – experience of a transactional/finance orientated practice in a law firm is highly preferential
• Experience producing accurate and quality RFP/pitches (preferable but not essential)
• Exposure to legal services/professional services firms

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.
