Job description

Ready for 2026 to be your brightest yet? The title might look the same, but life at Hedges is definitely not.
We know the challenges that face most Solicitors in-practice which is why we transformed the outdated model of legal services by putting ownership in the hands of those who deliver them.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.
We also understand what motivates Private Client Solicitors, and we know there are so many of you out there who are undervalued, not appreciated, deflated & demotivated by low‑value work, low fixed‑fees that are imposed on you, archaic practices, out‑dated management, slow IT & even slower career progression. And you're precisely who should read on now…

At Hedges our people are:
- 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 they are worth

And this is because at Hedges we are employee‑owned – we were only the 5th firm in the country to join this highly exclusive club.

Role Info

• Private Client Solicitor – 3‑5 Years+ PQE
• 3 days in one of our offices in Oxfordshire / Cotswolds
• Negotiable – how much do you want to earn?
• Plus extensive benefits including company profit share via employee ownership
• Full Time – Permanent 35 hours P/W

Your Skills

• Best‑in‑class inheritance & lifetime planning advice
• Drafting complex wills
• Creation and administration of trusts
• Estate planning and Court of Protection
• Support and training
• Excellent communication – a real people person
• Outstanding client assistance and advisory skills

Product / Service

Highly‑respected private client law practice for high net worth individuals

Culture

Inspiring working environment with people‑focused culture

Structure

Limited company. Part employee‑owned (1 of only 25 such law firms in the country)

Team Size

50 awesome colleagues!

Work your way. Due to exceptional demand, we’re expanding our Inheritance & Lifetime Planning team with aspirations to become the #1 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).

About You

• Qualified solicitor (3‑5 years PQE)
• Able to deliver high quality legal services with high client care
• Extremely organised and possess great time management skills
• Warm
• Personable
• Always seeking continued learning and self‑development
• Excellent IT skills and have strong desire to learn new ways of working
• Positive, optimistic, hardworking and possess a can‑do attitude
• Able to embrace team working and have a keenness to help colleagues
• Professional in appearance and behaviours with high confidentiality
• Strong desire to embrace new technologies and a STEP qualification would be highly desirable (which we would support if required)

Benefits

• 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 office in Wallingford
• Paperless technology: to make your life easier
• Coaching & personal development
• Culture: inspiring working environment with people‑focused culture

If you’re ready to be more than just a fee‑earner – to be an owner, a leader and part of something genuinely different – then Hedges is waiting. Let’s start with a confidential coffee (or tea) and an honest conversation.
