Business Development Executive

• Drive inbound + outbound sales efforts (LinkedIn, email, referrals, networks)
• Represent the firm in a professional, confident, and consultative manner

• 1–4 years of experience in sales / business development / client-facing roles (legal exposure is a big plus)
• Strong communication skills especially with international clients
• Confident, proactive, and comfortable owning conversations end-to-end
• Someone who enjoys closing deals as much as understanding the law

• Work with clients across 25+ countries
• Exposure to cross-border legal and business transactions
• Direct interaction with founders, investors, and global businesses
• High ownership and fast growth potential

• Have worked in a law firm or legal consultancy
• Have experience selling professional services
