Job description

Ready for 2026 to be your brightest yet? The title might look the same, but life with us is definitely not.

We know the challenges that faceер most Solicitors in‑practice which is why we transformed the outdated model of legal services by putting ownership in the hands of those who deliver them.

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 & De‑Motivated 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...

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 we are EMPLOYEE‑OWNED – we were only the 5th firm in the country to join this highlyjobb‑exclusive club.

Fancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtually)?

Ok, back to being different…

We may have a 235‑year heritage as a Private Client Legal Practice, but that doesn't mean we're a stale, dull & 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‑centuryforum: making it our job to innovate, excite, and ensure that when future generations look at our pictures(cf lined the wall, not only can they see what a terrific, friendly bunch we are, BUT queue that we were also the 'dream team', the mavericks, the leaders in the fieldوارع, the game‑changers: those who kept moving us forward and relevant, making it one of the most beautifully different law firms of its time.
