Welcome to Ambition’s Legal BD, Marketing & Communications salary guide, specifically for New York Law firms.
The salary information provided below is based on a combination of data from placements we have made in New York as well as additional intel from vacancies advertised externally by law firms.
Whilst I hope you find the information below useful, I do want to add a disclaimer that law firm Marketing & BD salaries and job titles can vary significantly from firm to firm.
This can be due to the structure of teams and remit of roles being quite different, even if the title on paper is the same.
This has become even more prevalent as we’ve emerged from the pandemic, where job titles and salary bandings have, in my opinion, become a bit blurred, therefore the information below should only be interpreted as a guide.
If you are looking for more tailored salary information, please get in touch. You may want some more personalized advice tailored to your current situation or perhaps you are looking to hire for your team and want to benchmark salaries. We would be delighted to help so please do reach out.
Alternatively, if you would like to see any additional salary breakdowns that aren’t included in this document, do let us know, feedback is welcomed!
