Are you great at building relationships, aren't afraid to walk into a room and start a conversation, and want your effort to directly show up in your paycheck?
Soni & Soni Advocates & Attorneys, a growing IP law firm in Ahmedabad specialising in trademarks, copyrights, and patents, is looking for a driven Business Development Executive to help us grow our client base — through field outreach, relationship-building, and consultative selling.
You don't need a legal background. You need hustle, people skills, and the ability to open doors.
What You'll Be Doing
- Identifying and reaching out to potential clients — startups, businesses, and individual innovators who need trademark, copyright, or patent protection
- Building and maintaining relationships with referral partners — CAs, company secretaries, business consultants, and startup incubators
- Field visits to prospective clients and referral partners across Ahmedabad
- Explaining our services clearly and helping prospects understand the value of IP protection
- Following up on leads and converting inquiries into signed clients
- Coordinating with the legal team to ensure a smooth handover once a client signs on
- Basic reporting on outreach activity and pipeline status
What We're Looking For
- 1-3 years of experience in field sales, business development, or a similar client-facing role (any industry — insurance, financial services, SaaS, etc. all welcome)
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills in English, Hindi, and Gujarati
- Self-motivated — comfortable with a base salary plus performance-based incentives
- Confident and professional in front of business owners and decision-makers
- A two-wheeler/own vehicle for field visits preferred
- No legal industry knowledge required — we'll train you on our services and how to position them
Why Join Us
- Real earning potential — your income grows with your results, not just your years of service
- Work directly with senior partners and see the impact of your outreach
- Be part of building something — this is a growing firm, not a rigid corporate hierarchy
- Learn a specialized, high-value industry (IP law) that few salespeople get exposure to
