Are you ready to kickstart your career in business development and contribute to a high performing team?

We’re looking for a Business Development Assistant to join our BD & Marketing team in either Aberdeen, Edinburgh or Glasgow. In this role, you’ll assist in delivering a range of BD & marketing initiatives to support the Banking & Funds division.

This role offers a diverse workload and the opportunity to work with people across the firm, not just within your team. Day-to-day, you’ll work alongside some of the top lawyers in the banking & funds sector as well as the BD Manager responsible for the division.

You’ll be responsible for providing support in scoping and implementing specific BD & marketing initiatives, including providing research on clients, supporting the coordination of legal directory entries, assisting with the planning and delivery of events and seminars and working on other firm BD & marketing projects as required.

Our business services functions are vital to our firm’s success. Consequently, you’ll have responsibility for your tasks and the flexibility to work independently, knowing that your contributions are integral to our operations.

We’re looking for someone with excellent organisation and communication skills, with entry-level experience in a similar role or a recent graduate looking to begin their career.

If you’re ready to embark on a career in a leading independent law firm, apply now!

At the heart of Burness Paull is our independence.

It’s this that gives us the licence to shape our business and culture in the sustainable way we want to, supporting the needs of our people, our clients, our wider community and the environment. It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high performing in approach.

For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves.

And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you'd expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues.

We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
