Several prominent law firms have recently reported significant changes within their business development, marketing, and communications departments. This ongoing pattern seems to indicate a new era for business development professionals in “big law” firms. This recent trend suggests a shifting landscape, potentially impacting the traditional roles and responsibilities of these professionals.
Positions within business development used to operate much like a concierge service, providing relatively standardised approaches to nurturing government and corporate relationships.

While the full details could not be accessed due to a paywall, it is clear that business development in the legal industry is undergoing significant transformation.
