There are many alternative career pathways within a major international law firm like Addleshaw Goddard.

And start by being a totally unique Marketing & Business Development Graduate.
ABOUT ADDLESHAW GODDARD
As a premium law firm working for many thousands of leading organisations in over 100 countries, we don't deal in typical problems, typical solutions or typical careers. Our business is about finding the smartest route to the biggest impact, for our clients, our colleagues and the communities we serve. That means bringing great minds together and helping individuals to be the best they can be.
The many awards, nominations and top rankings we are proud to have received in recent years include accolades for training, peer support, innovation, gender equality, culture and diversity.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our award-winning Business Development & Marketing team is located across our London, Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh offices but they support the entire global business. Made up of smaller teams including Bids, Marketing, Communications, Client and Business Development, the team plays an integral part in developing client relationships, winning new business, driving growth and building the firm's visibility.

Over the course of the two-year programme, with full supervision and support, you will move between the specialist teams to gain hands on exposure to everything from digital marketing campaigns, internal communications and event management to writing press releases, preparing client pitches and working with client relationship management software.
Upon completion of the scheme, you'll have the opportunity to pick from one of our Business Development and Marketing specialisms and continue building your career with us (subject to vacancies).
