The title might look familiar… but life at Hedges is anything but.\n\nWe know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice - firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made.\n\nThat’s not how we do things.\n\nAt Hedges Law, we’ve reimagined the traditional model by putting decisions in the hands of the people who actually drive the business forward - including those who protect it.\n\nHere, risk and compliance isn’t a back-office function - it’s a strategic voice at the table, shaping decisions, policies and safeguards alongside people who are genuinely invested in the firm’s long-term success. And as one of the UK’s most progressive law firms, you won’t just advise the business, you’ll profit from success - no waiting around for a “Financial Freedom Day” that may never come.\n\nWe also understand what drives experienced Solicitor / Lawyers — and how frustrating it can be to feel undervalued, brought in too late to influence decisions, stuck enforcing outdated processes, or held back by slow-moving leadership and limited commercial input.\n\nIf that sounds familiar, it’s worth reading on.\n\nAt Hedges, our people are:\n\n• Empowered (your voice genuinely shapes the business)\n • Valued as strategic contributors, not gatekeepers\n • Trusted to balance compliance with commerciality\n • Challenged in a progressive, forward-thinking firm\n • Supported with modern systems and processes\n • Accelerated in their development\n • Rewarded properly - including profit share\n\nFancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtual or otherwise)?\n\nOk, back to being different…\n\nWe 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.\n\nWhilst 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.\n\nWord on the street: "City Firm Quality exported to Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds".\n\nLast year was our biggest revenue year yet, and we have ambitious and exciting plans for the future - there's still so much to do and achieve, and we're not happy unless we're pushing boundaries… So, how about you come and be a part of our future and us a part of yours?\n\nThe Role at a Glance\n\nSolicitor / Risk & Compliance Lead\n Hybrid Working 3 Days Per Week\n Competitive Salary\n Plus: Extensive Benefits Including Company Profit Share\n\nReporting to: Managing Director\n\nWhy this role matters\n\nAs Head of Risk & Compliance, you’ll play a key role in shaping how the firm operates, grows, and protects its reputation. This isn’t about maintaining the status quo. It’s about building robust, intelligent, commercially aware frameworks that enable the firm to thrive.\n\nAbout the role\n\nYour role will centre on identifying and mitigating risk across the business, ensuring that robust, effective policies and procedures are not only in place but consistently followed. You’ll act as a key compliance advisor to the firm, providing guidance that balances regulatory requirements with commercial awareness.\n\nYou will oversee AML and KYC processes, take on COLP responsibilities, and manage all aspects of data protection and GDPR compliance. Regular file reviews and regulatory audits will form part of your remit, alongside handling complaints and claims with professionalism and care.\n\nIn addition, you’ll manage CQS and panel memberships, deliver training to staff on risk and compliance matters, and play a key role in supporting the firm’s Professional Indemnity renewal process.\n\nAbout you\n\nYou’re not just technically strong — you’re someone who can engage, influence and lead.\n \n • Qualified Solicitor - likely 5+ years PQE\n • Strong experience in Risk & Compliance within a legal environment\n • Deep understanding of legal and regulatory obligations\n • Commercially aware with a pragmatic approach\n • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills\n • Confident advising at all levels of the business\n • Strong IT skills and openness to innovation\n • Engaging, approachable and a natural people person\n • Detail-oriented with strong analytical skills\n • Positive, proactive and solutions-focused\n • Calm under pressure and able to meet deadlines\n • A true team player who supports colleagues\n • Always looking to improve systems and ways of working\n\nBenefits\n\n• 25/28 days annual leave (pro rata) plus statutory holidays\n • Life Insurance\n • Company pension\n • Profit sharing\n • Salary sacrifice options\n • Paperless technology to make your life easier\n • Coaching & personal development\n • A genuinely people-first culture\n • High calibre, supportive team\n\nThe Bigger Picture\n\nWe have ambitious plans, exciting growth ahead, and a clear vision for the future.\n\nAnd we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey.\n\nIf you’re ready to move from being a compliance function… to being a strategic leader and business owner…\n\nLet’s start with a confidential coffee and an honest conversation.\n\nApplication notice...

The Opportunity I’m working on a genuinely rare opportunity for a Senior or Associate level Building Surveyor This is a chance to step into a brand-new service line within an established, global consultancy - with immediate access to major clients and a live pipeline from day one. You won’t be inheriting a finished structure. You’ll be helping build it. From day one, you’ll be delivering high-quality client work, shaping how the team operates, and playing a visible role in how this capability grows across the Midlands and beyond. If you’re looking for ownership, influence, and the chance to build something with backing behind it, this stands out. The Role This is a hands-on, high-impact position combining delivery with team and service development. You will: Deliver technical due diligence, pre-acquisition surveys, and condition surveys Lead dilapidations instructions and manage client negotiations Produce high-quality reports, specifications, and advisory outputs Support wider technical surveying work linked to existing client instructions Manage multiple instructions across national client portfolios Help shape processes, templates, and best practice standards Support and mentor junior surveyors as the team grows You’ll be working across a strong and varied workload from day one, with instructions already in place across the Midlands, North West, and wider UK. The Business You’ll be joining a global consultancy with an established UK presence and long-standing relationships across major national clients. The key difference here is timing. They are now making a strategic investment into Building Surveying — creating a dedicated capability to support an already secured client base. The work is there. The relationships already exist. Your role is to deliver quality, build trust, and help convert that into long-term demand. This is not a cold-start role. It’s about unlocking an existing pipeline. What I’m Looking For MRICS qualified Building Surveyor (or equivalent) Strong background in professional services (TDD, dilapidations, condition surveys) Experience within a consultancy environment Confident and credible with clients Able to manage workload independently and deliver to a high standard Commercially aware with a strong understanding of client expectations Experience with retail or multi-site portfolios is useful, but not essential This role can suit either a proven senior surveyor or someone ready to step up into a broader, more visible position. Why This Stands Out Early-stage role within a new Building Surveying service line Immediate access to major national clients and live workload Real influence over how the team is built and developed Direct exposure to leadership and strategic growth plans Clear pathway to Associate Director level as the team scales Backed by a well-funded, established consultancy Hybrid working with flexibility and autonomy This is one of those roles that doesn’t come around often — the chance to help shape a team rather than just sit within one.
