Head of New Client Relations

Top 100 UK Commercial Law Firm

Location:
West of England / South Wales (hybrid)

Are you an experienced Business Development professional ready to take the lead on driving new client growth for a leading UK law firm?

We're working with a highly regarded Top 100 Commercial Law Firm seeking a Head of New Client Relations to shape and execute their strategy for winning new commercial and public sector clients across the UK. This is a newly created role with a clear mandate: to expand the firm's footprint through proactive relationship development, intelligent targeting, and a strategic approach to business growth.

The Role

You'll take ownership of the firm's new client acquisition strategy — working closely with Partners, Sector Heads and the wider BD team to identify opportunities, open doors, and build long-term, high-value relationships.

Your focus will be on:

  • Developing and delivering a targeted plan to win new commercial and public sector clients across key sectors.
  • Building a strong personal network in the West of England and South Wales, while also supporting national growth.
  • Working alongside Partners to develop compelling propositions, pitches and pursuit strategies.
  • Tracking and reporting on new business pipeline and outcomes, ensuring strategic alignment with firm priorities.

About You

You'll bring a strong track record in business development or client acquisition within professional services – ideally legal, accountancy, or consulting.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Currently operating at Manager or Senior Manager level, ready to step up to a leadership position.
  • Skilled in developing relationships with senior decision-makers and driving complex, consultative sales cycles.
  • Commercially astute, confident, and able to influence at Partner level.
  • Based within easy reach of the West of England or South Wales, with the flexibility to travel nationally as required.

What's on Offer

  • A competitive salary depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working with flexibility around office and client time.
  • The opportunity to make a visible impact at one of the UK's most respected commercial law firms.

If you're passionate about driving growth, thrive on building relationships, and want to shape a firm's new business future — this role offers a genuine platform to do just that.
