Ok great, we have your attention. You can see we do things a bit differently at Hedges.

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.

One of only 5 employee-owned law firms in the UK

This is an exciting time to join Hedges. We are the fifth employee-owned law firm in the UK, 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.

Slow the pace, switch out the dirty commute for a dog walk, bike ride or nature ramble.
