Senior Private Client Solicitor - Hnw. Remote-Flex. 7 Reasons To Click

We do things a bit differently at Hedges (back to that in a mo).

We understand that as a Private Client Solicitor / Lawyer you are likely to be comfortable in your current law firm and content with that. In which case feel click out of this now.

BUT

We also understand what motivates Private Client Solicitors and we know there are so many of you out there who are Undervalued, Not Appreciated, Deflated & De-Motivated by bog standard Private client work, archaic practices, out-dated management & slow career progression. And these are the people we want to talk to.

At Hedges our people are:

Empowered (have a voice)
Valued
Challenged by high-quality work for the HNW clients
Set-off at the right pace
Nurtured and Developed
Accelerated (faster career progression)
Paid what they are worth

And this is because at Hedges we are EMPLOYEE-OWNED - we were the 5th to join this highly-exclusive club in the UK.

Fancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtually)?

Ok, back to being different

We may have a 235-year heritage as a Private Client Law Practice, but that doesn't mean we're a stale, dull & oppressive legal firm, like so many others. No chance.

Whilst we love and embrace our 235 year history, we ve evolved this firm with the times to become a truly 21st century business: making it our job to innovate, excite, and ensure that when future generations look at our pictures lining the wall, not only can they see what a terrific, friendly bunch we are, BUT also that we were the 'dream team', the mavericks, the leaders in the field, the game-changers that make Hedges one of the most beautifully different law firms of its time.

Word on the street: "City Firm Quality exported to Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds".

The 5th employee-owned law firm in the UK so you will have a share in the business' success from day one. There's no 'buy-in' and no liability with our innovative trust shareholder structure. It's really special and means the world to our employees.

Last year was our biggest revenue year yet and we have ambitious and exciting plans for the future - there's still so much to do and achieve and we're not happy unless we're pushing boundaries So; how about you come and be a part of our future and us a part of yours?
