It makes for a fascinating and challenging practice. Our role is to get to know each individual client, find out where they want to be, and help them to get there – whether they are building a business, looking after their family, involved in a complex dispute or protecting their finances for the future. To meet their unique needs we are exceptionally collaborative, working together across teams and time zones. We are agile, focusing on strategy rather than rigid ideas and traditional hierarchy.

About Marketing and Business Development at Withers
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a graduate or graduate calibre individual with relevant work experience, to support the firm's leading private client and tax team in Europe. This is an exciting role that will offer variety and exposure to a wide range of marketing and business development activity where no two days are the same. You will be joining at a pivotal time for our clients in the private client sector, which is driving some exiting marketing campaigns and business development opportunities, which you will be an important part of.
Collaborating with the wider marketing team and working closely with the lawyers, you can expect to join a friendly, supportive and fun team both on the business services side and legal side. The firm has a unique culture that many prefer over that of other firms and our client base is truly fascinating. Because of this, and because of the type of law we advise on, we have scope to run more engaging campaigns than elsewhere in the sector.
Your primary responsibilities will include co-ordinating and supporting in-person events such as client roundtables and seminars, virtual events, producing pitch and credential documents and legal directory submissions. You will also assist in some aspects of digital marketing and client relationship management.
You will be a people-person and confident liaising with people at all levels across the firm, from senior partners to other business service departments. You will bring passion and enthusiasm to your work. Strong attention to detail, time management and organisation is imperative in this role.
