Responsible to: Head of Partnerships

Level: Manager

Working Hours: Full time – 35 hours per week

Yearly salary: £52,000 - £65,000

Minster Law is a personal injury law firm with an established and expanding Serious Injury practice operating across England and Wales, acting exclusively for claimants in complex, high-value cases. Our business is known for its technical depth, disciplined approach to case strategy and sustained focus on long-term client outcomes.

We’re looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to lead the charge in securing new sources of high-value and complex serious injury claims work. It's a role that needs strong commercial instincts, but genuine care and compassion too, for the people at the heart of every case who are often facing life changing injuries.

What you'll be doing

  • Developing and executing a strategic business development plan to win new serious injury sources of work
  • Generating and converting case recommendation agreements and strategic collaborations
  • Building and managing a portfolio of long-term, high-quality partnerships that keep growing
  • Keeping your finger on the pulse of the personal injury and serious injury market, spotting opportunities before anyone else does
  • Representing Minster Law at industry events and being a credible, trusted voice across the sector

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
