Job description

Want to Help Lead the Future of Private Wealth at Hedges?

Ready to scale your career (and earnings) faster whilst 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 Head of Private Wealth Solicitor to join our dynamic HNW team, delivering exceptional, personal service to some of the UK's most discerning individuals and families.

If you’re passionate about combining technical excellence with a fresh, modern approach to client care, we want to hear from you.

—-------------------

Why Hedges?

We know the challenges that face most Solicitors in-practice which is why we transformed the outdated model of legal services by putting ownership in the hands of those who deliver them.

At Hedges Law, every case, every client and every decision is powered by people who are personally invested in long-term success.

As one of the first legal firms in the UK to become employee owned, you will be part of this exclusive club and literally own this success. No having to wait around for the ‘Financial Freedom Day’, that may never come.

From day one you will be:

• Empowered (everyone really does have a voice)
• Valued
• Challenged by high-quality work for HNW clients
• Set-off at the right pace
• Nurtured and developed
• Accelerated (faster career progression)
• Paid what you are worth, faster than you can in your current gig

Ready to LOVEwork again?
Ready to be supported by a team?
Ready to 'own' part of the practice (with NO buy-in)?
Ready to grow without barriers?
Ready to work with an incredible eclectic mix of HNW / UHNW clients?
Ready to join a hand-built invested team who win and succeed together?
Ready to become a Hedgeholder?

If you are looking for a better deal, better work-life balance and no limits we’d love to talk.

Put the kettle on, grab a drink and let’s have an informal 15 min chat to see where we can both take this….

About Hedges Law:

We may have a 235-year heritage, but that doesn't mean we're a stale, dull and oppressive law firm like so many others. No chance.

Whilst we love and embrace our heritage and 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 that we were also the 'dream team', the mavericks, the leaders in the field, the game-changers: those who kept moving Hedges forward and relevant, making it one of the most beautifully different law firms of its time.

We were only the fifth employee-owned law firm in the UK and 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.
