Property Solicitor – Want to do property law differently…? – 18207 Ref: 18207

… you might want to hear this…

Ok great, we have your attention. You can see we do things a bit differently at Hedges.

We may have a 225 year heritage in Private Client practice but that doesn’t mean we’re a stale, dull & suppressive law firm, like so many. No chance.

And for this reason we’re not for everyone.

If you’re looking just to crack on in the corner with little to no ‘voice’ and are happy for your career progress and earning potential to be stuck in a holding pattern then we’re not for you.

Make no mistake, joining Hedges isn’t just a new job: it’s a new life… the life you might have to wait a long while for at other law firms. We’ve removed the red tape, bureaucracy, earning limits and ‘BS’. We are a mega-talented team of legal nonconformists. We laugh together (and sometimes cry); we deliver real solutions together and we Win together. Say goodbye to the unhealthy hierarchy that plights 99.95 of legal firms.

// We’re categorically different and boldly embrace this – Are you a “Legal Maverick” who is bored and wants MORE now?

We’re a natural home for the legal mavericks – the people who don’t fit, the risk takers, the disrupters, the challengers, those who are happy to raise their hand and make a difference, and those with a growth mindset who want more RIGHT NOW.

// One of only 5 employee-owned law firms in the UK

This is an exciting time to join Hedges. We are the fifth employee-owned law firm in the UK, meaning you will own part of the company from day 1. There’s no ‘buy-in’ and no liability with our innovative trust shareholder structure.

As a business owner you will reap the rewards from our employee ownership and profit share model: first class technology and wonderful people, a great sense of purpose and belonging, and the shared distribution of the business’ success.

We offer you a fulfilling career helping you make a difference to the lives of our clients.

// Want a change of lifestyle in the Cotswolds? Work your way.

Work from home and the office with our hybrid working model (likely 3 days a week in Chipping Norton/Oxford). And if you’re ready to swap the gritty city routine of London for the beautiful rolling hills and calm of the Cotswolds, Hedges is the place to be. Slow the pace, switch out the dirty commute for a dog walk, bike ride or nature ramble. With plenty of green space for you (and the family), wonderful schools and the likes of Daylesford, Diddly Squat Farm, Bamford, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor & Kingham Plough on your doorstep, the most amazing lifestyle awaits.

// No.1 Luxury & High Net Worth Private Client Practice across Oxfordshire & the Cotswolds

Having served the Oxfordshire community for over 225 years we’re expanding with a 2nd office in Chipping Norton. Oxfordshire has areas of very high net worth with high value properties and a huge number of estate agents and property finders who operate in that market. The number of highly rated, top service delivering lawyers in the property field is extremely low, however and we are already developing a growing reputation for excellence with local property professionals. We now have a huge opportunity to become the best property team in the county and the go-to recommendation for conveyancing from all professionals in the residential property market. The new team leader will play a leading role in this.
