Brand and Marketing Manager

The Department

Mishcon de Reya is one of the UK's best-known law firms and one of B2B's best known brands. From featuring in The Crown, to Gina Miller, to Boris Johnson making jokes in parliament, it is a brand that has entered wider culture and punches significantly above its weight.

Our tagline is "It's Business. But it's personal." signaling our private client heritage, our total commitment to clients and the importance of brilliant people. Our firm has been built with this high-touch entrepreneurial approach and our revenue has grown 40% in the last five years.

The Mishcon brand and our marketing approach have been a significant driver of growth. This, along with inventive, resourceful lawyers growing their own practice areas has been the bedrock of our success, and the basis for bringing new clients into the firm.

Our marketing exists to drive positive brand and expertise perception through integrated paid, owned and earned activity. We are unusual for a law firm in that we prize creativity and boldness and invest meaningfully in advertising and paid partnerships.
