Are you an ambitious legal maverick?

We may have a 225 year heritage in Private Client practice but that doesn’t mean we’re a stale, dull & suppressive law firm, like so many. No chance.

And for this reason we’re not for everyone. If you’re looking just to crack on in the corner with little to no ‘voice’ and are happy for your career progress and earning potential to be stuck in a holding pattern then we’re not for you.

Make no mistake, joining Hedges isn’t just a new job: it’s a new life… the life you might have to wait a long while for at other law firms. We’ve removed the red tape, bureaucracy, earning limits and ‘BS’. We are a mega-talented team of legal nonconformists. We laugh together (and sometimes cry); we deliver real solutions together and we Win together. Say goodbye to the unhealthy hierarchy that plights 99.95 of legal firms.

We’re categorically different and boldly embrace this – Are you a “Legal Maverick” who is bored and wants MORE now?

We’re a natural home for the legal mavericks – the people who don’t fit, the risk takers, the disrupters, the challengers, those who are happy to raise their hand and make a difference and those with a growth mindset who want more RIGHT NOW.

We were the 5th Law Firm in the country to become employee-owned.

This is an exciting time to join Hedges. We are an employee-owned law firm, meaning you will own part of the company from day 1. There’s no ‘buy-in’ and no liability with our innovative trust shareholder structure.

As a business owner you will reap the rewards from our employee ownership and profit share model: first class technology and wonderful people, a great sense of purpose and belonging, and the shared distribution of the business’ success.

We offer you a fulfilling career helping you make a difference to the lives of our clients.

We provide our fantastic team with some great benefits.

A competitive salary package, of course.

Plus:

• 25/28 days annual leave plus statutory holidays dependent on position
• Life Insurance
• Flu Vouchers
• Company pension
• Profit sharing (Employee Ownership)
• Salary Sacrifice
• Free parking at our Wallingford office
• Flexible Hybrid working (2 days in office 3 days from home or vice versa).

And…

• Paperless Technology: to make your life easier
• Coaching & Personal Development
• Culture: Inspiring working environment with people-focused culture
• High Pedigree Team: Our highly skilled team of solicitors use their knowledge and expertise to provide practical & responsive legal advice in our specialist areas of Private Client services (including Tax Advice), Family Law, Property Law and Civil Litigation (including employment law).

Want a change of lifestyle in the Cotswolds? Work your way.

Work from home, from the office or a mix of the two (ideally 2 days a week). And if you’re ready to swap the gritty city routine of London for the beautiful rolling hills and calm of the Cotswolds, Hedges is the place to be. Slow the pace, switch out the dirty commute for a dog walk, bike ride or nature ramble. With plenty of green space for you (and the family), wonderful schools and the likes of Daylesford, Diddly Squat Farm, Bamford, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor & Kingham Plough on your doorstep, the most amazing lifestyle awaits.
