• Join a senior and talented team of BD/CRMs
• Manager and Senior Manager level candidates considered
• Exclusive engagement with one of Dalton Handley’s longest standing clients

We are partnering exclusively with one of the most prestigious law firms in the Asia-Pacific region to appoint a high-calibre Business Development Manager to support their high-performing Disputes practice.

This is a rare opportunity for an established BDM to step into a global brand with a reputation for excellence, sophistication, and scale.

Working closely with senior stakeholders and as part of an exceptional business development and client function, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the firm’s market-leading disputes team remains top of mind for major corporate clients across APAC.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute BD and client strategies aligned to the Disputes group’s goals, with a focus on high-value litigation, class actions, regulatory and investigations work.
• Partner with senior lawyers to identify growth opportunities, prioritise pursuits, and enhance key client relationships.
• Lead strategy on complex bids and proposals, driving content strategy and best practice.
• Collaborate across teams, geographies and sector groups to elevate the firm’s disputes capability as a key differentiator.
• Analyse market and client intelligence to inform strategy and enable sharper decision-making.

About You:

• Proven experience in a BD Manager or Senior Executive role within a professional services environment.
• Deep understanding of litigation and disputes (or the confidence and commerciality to quickly grasp this area).
• Ability to work at pace, with credibility and influence at partner level.
• A strategic mindset combined with sharp execution skills and strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable navigating complexity, ambiguity and high expectations in a global environment.

Why This Role?

This opportunity offers a genuine brand uplift for an ambitious BDM ready to operate on a bigger stage. You’ll be joining a firm that invests heavily in its BD and client function, prizes innovation, and offers long-term career progression within a world-class team.
