Seizing the biggest
opportunities relies

Marketing, Business Development and Communications

Creative solutions need people who think differently.

In Marketing, Business Development and Communications, we work with our lawyers to win global mandates from global clients. We showcase our sector expertise, and we win more cross-border and cross-practice work. No two days are the same for our team.

Marketing: Our experience

What we’ve achieved

Always client focused

We believe in perfecting the world-class basics. By driving excellence in the fundamentals of Marketing and Business Development we ensure we have the infrastructure to enable international collaborative working. We are always client focused and drive sector-forward thinking in our methodology. 

Our Communications and Brand teams are responsible for building our narrative. They position us as the professional services firm for the future through best-in-class communications that enhance our culture, brand and reputation. Come help us tell our story.

A diverse, international team

It's not just the work that is varied, but where you work can be too. Some team members are embedded in our practice group and sector teams, some support specific countries and regions and others work in specialised roles in areas such as account management, pitching, PR and digital communications. A global mindset is encouraged for all our people to ensure that our work has a global perspective and meets the needs of our international business. 

Forward thinking solutions

We empower our people to tell our story. The tools we create enable our firm to be a sophisticated global leader in legal services that stands out from the competition. From our client pitch process, to supporting our people in all their communications, our international marketing tools allow agile and forward-thinking solutions to all our clients’ needs. We strive towards international alignment not only in our client strategy, but also in the way we support our people on all international marketing, business development and communications processes.
