We do things a bit differently at Hedges 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. And for this reason we're not for everyone. If you're happy to soldier on in the corner with little to no 'voice' and are resigned to your career progress and earning potential being stuck in a holding pattern, probably best to click out of this now. We're categorically different and boldly embrace this - Are you a "Legal Maverick" who is bored and wants MORE now? 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 the Cotswolds". Only 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? Role Info: Private Client Solicitor - 2 Years PQE 2 /3 Days Hybrid Plus Oxford or Chipping Norton Based for client meetings Starting from £50,000+ Plus Extensive Benefits Including Company Profit Share Reporting to: Lifetime Team Leader Full Time - Permanent 35 hours P/W Product / Service: Highly-Respected Private Client Law Practice for High Net Worth Individuals Clients: Interesting, creative, affluent & uber-successful HNW Culture: Inspiring working environment with people-focused culture Structure: Limited company.

Support and Training, Excellent Communication, a real people person.Outstanding Client Assistance and Advisory Skills. Team Size: 50 awesome colleagues! Want a change of lifestyle? Work your way. Due to exceptional demand we're expanding our Inheritance & Lifetime Planning team with aspirations to become the firm in Oxford & the Cotswolds, and you will play a key role in that. Work from home, from the office or a mix of the two (ideally 2/3 days a week). And if you're ready to swap the gritty city routine of London for the beautiful rolling hills, stunning architecture 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, a lively and vibrant scene and the likes of Daylesford, Diddly Squat Farm, Bamford, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor & Cornbury Festival and scores of the best foodie pubs in the country on your doorstep, the most amazing lifestyle awaits.
