Lexis Nexis is transforming how law firms meet client needs and we’re looking for exceptional former AmLaw attorneys who want to be part of that change. The Client Development Partner builds deep relationships with law firm leaders and helps them envision how Lexis Nexis AI and workflow solutions can advance their most important goals.

• Partnering with Client Managers to engage large law firm customers in conversations that accelerate their transition to next generation Lexis Nexis solutions.
• Engaging managing partners, practice chairs, and firm executives to understand their priorities and position Lexis Nexis as a trusted partner in driving innovation and modernizing firm operations.
• Leveraging legal expertise to work directly with attorneys and practice groups to analyze workflows, uncover inefficiencies, and identify how Lexis Nexis can enhance client outcomes, talent productivity, and firm ROI.
• Leading tailored demonstrations and strategic discussions that translate those workflow insights into clear, actionable use cases for Lexis Nexis AI and workflow tools.
• Collaborating with marketing, product, and client success teams to create targeted materials, success stories, and campaigns that showcase the impact of AI and workflow transformation.
• Leading firms through adoption of Lexis Nexis AI and workflow solutions, from stakeholder alignment and purchase decisions to implementation planning and measurable impact.

• Have a JD with at least 3 years of experience practicing law at a leading AmLaw 100 / Vault 100 firm (preferably in corporate law or litigation).
• Have experience establishing credibility with partners and firm C‑suite through strong executive presence, legal expertise, and AI fluency.
• Demonstrate curiosity and conviction about how AI and legal technology can transform law firm workflows and client delivery.
• Deliver persuasive, insight-rich presentations / demos that engage both legal and business audiences.
• Collaborate effectively across teams, working closely with sales, marketing, and product to deliver unified client engagement strategies.
• Be able to build deep knowledge of legal workflows, use cases, and emerging trends to tailor Lexis Nexis solutions to client needs.
