The Opportunity:
The Dubai office works with an impressive client base across the MENA region, offering a diverse range of services including corporate law (M&A, venture capital, private equity, and funds), real estate and construction, dispute resolution, and intellectual property. This team is particularly well-regarded for its expertise in the technology, private wealth, and hotels and hospitality sectors.
The firm is currently seeking a Business Development Manager in Dubai to support ambitious growth plans through strategic business development, high-profile campaigns, events, and communications across all practice areas in the Dubai office. While the focus will be on the Dubai team, this role will closely collaborate with the global firm, particularly with the BD, Marketing, and Communications teams based in London.
The ideal candidate will be an innovative, growth-focused professional with strong commercial acumen and a proactive, energetic approach. The role requires someone who can quickly get to know the business, develop and manage a wide range of relationships, and take a hands-on approach to drive results.
