Our client, Falcon Chambers is a very busy specialist property set of chambers with 47 barristers (17 Silks). Chambers are seeking a Marketing Executive to join their dynamic team.

The successful candidate will manage day to day marketing matters (organising events, sending invitations, checking and updating the mailing list, posting on socials) as well as interacting with members of chambers (sourcing news items) and external persons (such as PLA representatives, directories, awards, PSLs and solicitors for lecturing opportunities).
