Where elite sales talent meets the most sophisticated buyers in the world. GLG Law sits at the center of some of the most consequential legal matters in the country. When a top law firm needs an expert witness for a billion-dollar dispute, a time-sensitive investigation, etc., they come to us. As a Business Development Manager, you will be the person they trust to call.

This is a true sales role: equal parts relationship‑building, strategic account growth, and high‑volume business generation. You will spend every day engaging some of the sharpest minds in the legal world, learning their needs, navigating their objections, earning their trust, and ultimately winning their business. You’ll develop your own voice, your own approach, and your own rhythm—and the autonomy to run your desk like your own franchise within GLG.

If you love selling, thrive in fast‑paced environments, and want to grow your career by working with the most demanding and discerning clients on earth, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Do

You will own your book of business end‑to‑end.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Source, qualify, and close new users across the AmLaw 200 and leading boutique firms
  • Build tailored outreach campaigns that engage busy lawyers through calls, emails, and creative touchpoints
  • Confidently pitch GLG’s expert witness model and articulate our value in high‑stakes, time‑pressured situations
Strategic Account Management & Expansion
  • Develop deep understanding of your clients’ litigation portfolios, priorities, and decision‑making processes
  • Build account plans that track opportunities, forecast growth, and increase share of wallet
  • Drive adoption across practice groups, offices, and partner networks
Navigating Complex Personalities
  • Engage partners, associates, and in‑house counsel who expect precision, speed, and strong judgment
  • Handle challenging conversations with poise and resilience
  • Influence sophisticated buyers, earning credibility through knowledge, responsiveness, and insight
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with our Client Solutions team to scope and deliver nuanced expert witness solutions
  • Share market intelligence to help shape product, service model, and go‑to‑market strategy
  • Contribute to high‑impact initiatives that move GLG Law forward

Depending on performance and interest, you may have opportunities to help mentor or manage entry‑level Business Development Associates, playing a key role in building the next generation of GLG Law talent.

About GLG Law

At GLG Law, we help leading law firms and in‑house counsel solve their most complex litigation challenges by connecting them with the right expert witnesses. As a Client Solutions Associate, you’ll play a critical role in building the expert relationships and connections that underpin high‑stakes cases. You’ll recruit and evaluate executives and industry leaders, conduct time‑sensitive research, and partner with senior team members to deliver tailored expert solutions to our clients.

GLG Law is a highly collaborative, entrepreneurial group that values curiosity, accountability, and shared success. We celebrate diverse perspectives, support each other in our work, and place a premium on professional growth.
