  • Create practice-specific marketing collateral, lawyer biographies, practice area descriptions, and other collateral to more effectively sell the practice, its people, and its client offerings.
  • Oversee and work on award and legal directory submissions, such as Chambers and Legal 500, and seek and assess additional opportunities for recognition as related to the practice.
  • Ensure pitch database is up-to-date with client and attorney feedback on opportunities and that we are sharing best practices and continuing to improve our track record; participate in pitch debriefs, monitor wins/losses, track and report client feedback; build and maintain a flow of relevant information within practices regarding business development activity to encourage internal communication and sharing of client intelligence.
  • Manage promotional activities, including evaluating and selecting advertising and sponsorship opportunities, within approved budgets.
  • Track and report intelligence on key clients and prospects and develop client action plans for developing/expanding business.
  • Manage and mentor other team members.

  • Preferred knowledge of and affinity for, and experience and/or familiarity with the related practices and a high degree of drive and personal initiative to raise the Firm's profile and generate business.
  • Strong strategic business development skillset with knowledge of core marketing principles.
  • Robust project management skills; flexibility to adjust work schedule according to workload demands; ability to deal with complex material and concepts and manage multiple concurrent projects; establish and manage deadlines and prioritize appropriately.
  • Ability to maintain professional composure and confidentiality in high-pressure situations and a fast-paced, multi-authority environment.
  • Established comfort level in working with all levels of management; capacity to work in a team environment.
