Global Head of BD & Strategy LAE

Overview

Hogan Lovells is a leading global law firm whose distinctive market position is built on exceptional breadth of practice, deep industry expertise, and a truly integrated “one team” international approach. With more than 40 offices across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the firm operates at scale while maintaining a supportive and collaborative culture.

The firm is seeking to recruit a Global Head of Business Development & Strategy for its market-leading Litigation, Arbitration and Employment (LAE) practice group. This is a unique opportunity to shape and drive strategic planning and execution across the full scope of Hogan Lovells disputes offering. The role will be central to defining the practice group’s go-to-market strategy, strengthening client relationships, and maximising opportunities to grow revenue.

You will lead and inspire a team of around 20 professionals across the UK, US, and other international locations, and play a pivotal role within the firm’s wider M&BD Executive Group.

As a trusted adviser to the LAE Practice Group Leader and leadership team, you will provide strategic guidance, identify and escalate significant opportunities and risks, and support the delivery of high-priority initiatives.

Success in this role requires a commercially minded, collaborative leader with deep experience in professional services, exceptional communication and influencing skills, and a proven track record of leading global teams to deliver impactful, integrated M&BD strategies aligned with practice-wide priorities.

Experience in litigation and disputes is advantageous but not essential.
