Job description

A leading international law firm is looking to appoint a Head of Disputes Pricing & Commercial Transformation to join its Commercial and Pricing function in London.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for an experienced legal pricing professional looking to take on a highly strategic role combining Disputes pricing, commercial transformation and AI-enabled pricing.

The successful individual will take ownership of the pricing strategy for the firm’s international Disputes practice, working closely with senior Partners to develop sophisticated pricing solutions that respond to client requirements while supporting profitability and wider commercial objectives. The role will have a particular focus on complex disputes pricing, alternative fee arrangements and value-based pricing, alongside developing relationships with litigation funders, After-the-Event insurers and costs specialists.

Alongside the Disputes remit, the position will play an important role in the development and deployment of the firm’s AI pricing strategy. This will include designing pricing models for AI-enabled legal services, developing playbooks and commercial guardrails, supporting the introduction of relevant pricing technology and delivering training across both fee-earning and business services teams.

The role will also take the lead on complex international pricing matters and help develop the quality of commercial insight provided to the wider business, including client and sector benchmarking, competitor intelligence and broader market analysis. There will be significant exposure to senior stakeholders, with the successful individual acting as a trusted commercial adviser to Partners across the firm.

The firm is looking for someone with strong technical knowledge across pricing models, AFAs, value pricing and increasingly AI-enabled pricing. Deep experience of complex legal disputes pricing will be particularly important, while previous exposure to litigation funding and/or insurance would be highly advantageous.

This could be an excellent opportunity for a senior pricing professional who wants a broader and more strategic remit, combining ownership of a key practice area with the opportunity to help shape how a major international law firm approaches the next generation of pricing and commercial strategy.
