Law firm business development & marketing recruitment

Dalton Handley recruits the people who win work for law firms: business development, marketing, communications and client relationship professionals. Since 2013 the firm has placed with 18 of the top 20 Australian law firms, with deep expertise in partnership environments and a 100% fill rate on leadership searches.

The roles

  • Business Development Manager and Business Development Director
  • Chief marketing officer and heads of BD and marketing
  • Marketing, brand and campaigns, coordinator to senior manager
  • Communications, internal and external
  • Client relationship, key client and pursuits
  • Interim and contract cover at every level

How we work

  • One senior consultant takes the brief, runs the search and sits in on the offer
  • Pay is set from our own survey research before the shortlist
  • The market is mapped before a role is advertised, if it ever is
  • Matched on how the person works and how the partners like to be challenged, not just the CV

Searches run across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with Associate Partners in London and Hong Kong for international moves.

Our remuneration research covers BD, marketing and communications roles by level and firm type. Candidates who complete the survey receive a bespoke report on their pay, and firms can commission a report on their whole team.
