Client Relationship & Growth Manager - We Ripped Up The Law Firm Blueprint

We do things a bit differently at Hedges… (back to that in a mo)

Hedges Law isn't just about legal services; it's about building lasting relationships and making a positive impact. As a cornerstone of the community, we pride ourselves on being our clients' "family lawyers," offering "Advice for Life." Now, we're seeking a Client Services Manager to join our dynamic team and propel us forward.

… 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 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.

Word on the street: "City Firm Quality exported to Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds".

// The 5th employee-owned law firm in the UK so 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.
