Join a thriving L500, multi-service law firm in the heart of London that's doubled its size and tripled its turnover in just four years. With revenues soaring from £8 million to £24 million, this firm has attracted top talent from leading City and mid-town firms, boosting their headcount from 45 to over 100.

Backed by strong, diverse leadership and a robust financial foundation, the firm has ambitious plans to double again over the next five years, focusing on both headcount and profitability. As a first-generation, 25-year-old firm, they proudly maintain high staff retention, with many lawyers staying well over a decade.

This firm invests in cutting-edge technology to simplify life for its fee earners. They reward performance based on merit—no corporate red tape, just competitive compensation that reflects your true worth.

Their client roster is equally impressive. In their media and sports practice, they represent Premier League and WSL players, world boxing champions, Olympic and Commonwealth athletes, F1 drivers, top cricketers, professional golfers, major football agencies, international brands, and more.

Expect a collegiate, entrepreneurial culture where mentorship, career development, and progression are woven into the firm's ethos—evidenced by a growing cadre of homegrown senior lawyers and partners.
