Events Executive – London | Leading Law Firm | Up to £42k DOE
I'm partnered with a leading, full-service law firm hiring an Events Executive to join their growing Marketing team in London. With offices across London, Leeds, Birmingham, and Colchester and a client base ranging from global multinationals through to housing associations, charities, and Regulators, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-profile role at a firm that's grown significantly in recent years.
Salary: Up to £42,000
Location: London (minimum 2 days in office, with flexibility required around events)
Reporting to: Head of Marketing
The Opportunity
Sitting within the Marketing team and reporting into the Head of Marketing, the Events Executive will take the lead on planning and delivering a busy, varied calendar of in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. You'll work closely with the Marketing Manager, Marketing Executive, Marketing Assistant, and the wider Business Development team to support the firm's strategic goals through expertly delivered client events, roundtables, conferences, sponsorships, receptions, webinars, and networking events.
This is a role that rewards proactivity, creativity, and pride in your work. The firm is growing, the events demand is increasing, and there's genuine scope to make this role your own.
Day to Day, You Will

- Send regular RSVP reports to internal stakeholders
- Feed into pre and post-event evaluation to support new BD opportunities
- Maintain event-related content on the firm's website and internal MBD Hub
- Partner with the Marketing Executive on external promotion and internal communications
- Lead the marketing approach for external conferences and exhibitions
- Research venues for external seminars and events
- Carry out client, competitor, and market research
- Report on event performance and statistics
- Act as a brand ambassador, ensuring all event copy reflects the firm's tone and Style Guide
- Oversee branded merchandise orders with the Marketing Assistant
- Coordinate internal event requirements including catering and logistics
- Delegate and oversee event admin (name badges, Outlook inbox monitoring) via the Marketing Assistant
- Get involved in CSR initiatives, building relationships with partner charities
