The Senior Manager: Business Development provides strategic direction and implementation support to Firm lawyers for client-expansion and new business development activities for the Litigation practices, with a primary focus on our Financial Services Litigation, Investigations and Regulatory and the firm’s Product Liability and Mass Tort practices. This includes leading practice and product growth initiatives, client development, and enhancing the department’s profile across high-stakes litigation and regulatory matters-ranging from complex financial services disputes, supervisory examinations, and enforcement investigations to nationwide product liability and mass tort proceedings. You will collaborate with lawyers who pair sophisticated advocacy with deep industry insight to deliver integrated strategies for leading financial institutions, manufacturers, and emerging market participants. This is an opportunity to shape go-to-market initiatives for practices that tackle multi-forum disputes, class actions, MDLs, and regulatory scrutiny, and to partner with a team recognized for its practical judgment, creativity, and business acumen. You will play a pivotal role in translating technical subject matter into compelling market narratives, building profile through thought leadership and strategic campaigns, and positioning the practices as first-choice counsel for clients facing bet-the-company risks and evolving regulatory expectations.

The role is also responsible for supporting the strategic direction and infrastructure support for the firm’s Products team. Our Product team operates across practices and offices and works to ensure a consistent client-focused approach at the global and regional level. This role may also support other initiatives that align with the Firm’s strategic plan and will require working closely and collaboratively with the rest of the Global Business Development and Marketing team.
