People. Not just lawyers.
For over 50 years we’ve been dedicated to nurturing talent, recognising results and rewarding high performance. Now, as we enter a period of rapid growth, we’re looking for the next generation of hardworking, passionate, and ambitious people to join us in a wide range of legal and support roles.
Flexible working:
Striking a good work/life balance is a priority for us, which is why we offer a range of flexible working options including flexible start times, to help juggle personal as well as work life commitments.
Traditional and non-traditional backgrounds:
At HF we believe in nurturing young talent in a way that works for them and we welcome people into an exciting career in legal services regardless of their background.
Whether our people come from traditional or non-traditional routes, there’s huge opportunity for progression at every level. We believe in investing in and promoting our home-grown talent and the proof is clearly visible with several of our senior leadership team coming from a non-traditional route.
Benefits:
Apart from the competitive salary you’d expect, our package of benefits includes:
- 25 days’ annual leave (in addition to public holidays)
- flexible working
- private healthcare
- contributory pension scheme
- bonus scheme
- exclusive access to discount and cashback deals via HF Discount Hub
- relaxed dress code
- drive electric – salary sacrifice scheme for electric vehicles
Employee Share Scheme:
Unlike most other UK law firms, we’re a limited company and we’re proud to be leading the way with our all-employee share scheme. The scheme allows everyone at HF (not just a few equity partners) to own a piece of the company.
Lateral Moves
For over 50 years we’ve been dedicated to nurturing talent, recognising results and rewarding high performance. Now, as we enter a period of rapid growth, we’re looking for the next generation of hardworking, passionate and driven people to join us in a wide range of legal and support roles.
Because of this growth, we’re keen to speak with highly ambitious Partners (or equivalent) across all of our office locations, who have a strong client connection within Insurance, Corporate, Employment, Dispute Resolution, Insolvency and Real Estate.
Recognised as the most Innovative Law Firm of the Year, we can offer clients a truly unique service by doing things differently. Our professionals use a forward-thinking, dynamic approach that’s genuinely built around a focus on our clients’ needs – not our own!
And it’s this approach that ensures our customers, including FTSE 250, Euro 50 and some of the biggest insurance companies in the country, continue to work with us!
So…if you are looking for a secure, exciting and fulfilling career in a business that is changing the face of legal and professional services across the UK then get in touch with Claire Rennison, Recruitment Business Partner, for an informal, confidential discussion about how you can join our revolution!
Diversity & Inclusion
At HF we’ve always been focused on our people, our culture, developing and promoting from within, and making sure everyone feels comfortable bringing their true self to work.
Our determination goes further – with a commitment to providing alternative paths into law backed by career development and progression offering the opportunity to succeed in law regardless of gender, background, beliefs, disabilities or any other factor.
As part of our focus on social mobility, we’ve chosen to continue developing our talent pipeline through our hugely successful legal apprenticeships scheme run with BPP.
Key to facilitating progression across our business is our range of genuinely flexible, hybrid working options and additional support during maternity leave. Enhanced maternity and adoption leave and flexible working options that offer extended start and finish times, compressed hours, weekend working and temporary part time hours during school holidays, help our people better manage their work life balance and caring responsibilities.
And our Employee Networks actively build relationships, share lived experiences, provide support and drive initiatives and events throughout the year.
