Job Description
Chief Executive Officer
International Law Firm
Permanent
Hybrid (London-based with flexible in-office presence - 1–2 days per week)
Exclusively with Lex Talent
Are you a senior executive in law or professional services looking for a role with real influence and global impact?
This is an opportunity to lead a highly respected, fast-growing international law firm and shape its next phase of expansion.
Reporting to the Equity Partnership, you will have full executive authority over the firm’s strategy, operations, and growth across multiple regions. You will work closely with senior partners, guiding the firm’s vision, strengthening international offices, and positioning the organisation for cross-border success.
The role blends strategic leadership with hands-on execution. You will drive financial performance, scale operations, build a high-performing leadership team, and lead growth initiatives across the UK, UAE, and the wider African continent. You will also shape culture, integrate multi-office operations, and capitalize on global opportunities.
Ideally you will have worked at this level before, but what matters most is strong strategic judgement, commercial acumen, credibility with senior professionals, and the confidence to lead complex international growth projects in a fast-paced professional services environment.
What you can expect:
- Leadership of a high-growth, internationally connected firm
- A senior, visible role with genuine strategic impact
- Direct partnership with the firm’s equity and leadership team
- The chance to integrate multi-office operations, drive cross-border deals, and scale the business globally
- Ownership of culture, talent, and high-performance teams
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on growth, influence, and building a high-impact, globally connected organization.
