Job Description

Want to help lead the future of private client services at Hedges? Ready to scale your career (and earnings) faster while shaping the next chapter of high-net-worth private client services? At Hedges, we don't just protect wealth — we help our clients build lasting legacies. We're looking for a visionary Senior Private Client Solicitor to join our dynamic HNW team, delivering exceptional, personal service to some of the UK's most discerning individuals and families.

Why Hedges?

We understand the challenges faced by solicitors, which is why we transformed the traditional legal services model by putting ownership in the hands of those who deliver them. At Hedges Law, every case, client, and decision is driven by people invested in long-term success. As one of the first UK law firms to become employee-owned, you will be part of this exclusive community and share in our success.

No need to wait for the 'Financial Freedom Day'. From day one, you will be:

1. Empowered (everyone has a voice)
2. Valued
3. Challenged by high-quality work for HNW clients
4. Set off at the right pace
5. Nurtured and developed
6. Accelerated (faster career progression)
7. Paid what you're worth, faster than in traditional roles

Are you ready to love your work again? To be supported by a team? To 'own' part of the practice without a buy-in? To grow without barriers? To work with an eclectic mix of HNW/UHNW clients? To join a dedicated, invested team that wins and succeeds together? To become a Hedgeholder?

If you're seeking a better deal, better work-life balance, and no limits, we’d love to chat. Put the kettle on, grab a drink, and let's have an informal 15-minute conversation to explore opportunities.

Our aim is to be recognized as the 'dream team', the mavericks, and the game-changers in the legal field. We are proud to be one of the few employee-owned law firms in the UK, sharing in our success from day one with no buy-in or liability.
