  • Newly Qualified (NQ) Solicitor
    Newly Qualified (NQ) Solicitor
    1 month ago
    Full-time
    London

    Newly Qualified (NQ) Solicitor Practice Areas: Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND), Housing, Welfare Benefits, Social Care & Deputyship Law Location: Central London Working Model: Hybrid – 3 days in the office, 2 days from home. Salary: £35,000 basic salary + uncapped performance bonus On-Target Earnings: £48,000+ per annum Experience: Newly Qualified Solicitor – previous specialist experience in our practice areas is not essential Funding Model: 100% privately funded practice – no legal aid caseload Progression: A growth role in an expanding firm, with a clear route towards senior responsibility for a practice area and, in time, a role in the leadership of the firm. About the Firm We are a highly specialised London law firm dedicated to protecting the rights, welfare and interests of vulnerable individuals, children and families. Our work focuses on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), housing, welfare benefits, social care and deputyship matters, including civil litigation, administrative law, tribunal proceedings and Court of Protection work. We operate on a 100% privately funded basis and do not undertake legal aid work. This enables us to maintain focused caseloads and provide a high standard of individual attention, strategic advice and client care. We are a growing practice. This role has been created because our caseload is expanding and the person we appoint will help shape how the firm develops over the coming years. The Opportunity. We are looking for a motivated and compassionate Newly Qualified Solicitor. You do not need extensive previous experience in SEND, housing, welfare benefits, social care or deputyship law. We are interested in potential, strong legal foundations, excellent communication skills and a genuine willingness to learn. The successful candidate will receive structured training, close senior supervision and increasing responsibility as their experience develops. This is intended to be a long-term career opportunity for a solicitor who wants to develop strong technical expertise while gaining meaningful experience across several specialist and closely connected areas of law. Because our practice areas are so closely connected, a single client or family will often have needs across several of them. A SEND matter may reveal a housing problem, a welfare benefits entitlement or the need for a deputyship. We want a solicitor who learns to see the whole picture of a client’s circumstances, not just the matter in front of them and who is trained from the outset to identify where the firm can properly help further. Key Responsibilities As your experience develops, your responsibilities will include: * Managing a privately funded caseload under close senior supervision; * Advising individuals and families on SEND, housing, welfare benefits, social care and deputyship matters; * Providing clear, compassionate and professional client care; * Drafting legal correspondence, representations, applications, witness statements and other formal documents; * Preparing grounds and supporting documentation for tribunal appeals; * Preparing cases for First-tier Tribunal and county court proceedings; * Undertaking advocacy and representation where appropriate to your experience; * Conducting legal research and contributing to case strategy; * Maintaining accurate time recording and effective file management; and * Developing commercial awareness and working towards agreed billing objectives. • Taking ownership of your matters from first enquiry to conclusion, so that each client has a single, reliable point of contact;, • Identifying, within your existing matters and client relationships, further areas in which the firm can properly assist and opening those matters in consultation with senior colleagues;, • Contributing to the growth of the firm by developing referral relationships, attending relevant events and helping to build the firm’s profile in its specialist areas; and, • Playing an active part in the day-to-day running of the practice, including improving precedents, processes and compliance systems and taking on defined operational responsibilities as the firm grows. Billing Target & Support As your experience, confidence and caseload develop, you will work towards an annual billing target of £180,000. We recognise that an NQ solicitor requires time, training and support to develop a sustainable caseload. You will therefore receive close senior supervision and structured technical training as you progress. The billing target provides transparency around performance expectations while creating a clear link between individual performance and financial reward. Fees generated on matters you have identified within existing client relationships, or on clients you have introduced to the firm, count fully towards your target. Bringing work in is therefore rewarded through the same bonus structure as doing the work. Salary & Uncapped Performance Bonus Guaranteed Basic Salary £35,000 gross per annum Your basic salary is guaranteed and is not dependent upon achieving the annual billing target. On-Target Performance Bonus The firm operates a transparent performance bonus structure. For qualifying annual fees up to the £180,000 target, the bonus is calculated at 10% of net qualifying fees, after deduction of: * £35,000 basic salary; and * £15,000 fixed annual office cost allocation. At £180,000 in qualifying annual fees, this produces: £35,000 basic salary + £13,000 performance bonus = £48,000 total annual earnings. Over-Performance Bonus Performance above the £180,000 annual threshold is rewarded at a higher rate. Qualifying fees above £180,000 attract an additional 15% bonus, without the £35,000 salary or £15,000 office cost deductions being applied again to those additional fees. There is no upper cap on the over-performance bonus. By way of illustration, qualifying fees of £220,000 in a year would produce total earnings of £54,000 (£35,000 basic salary + £13,000 target bonus + £6,000 over-performance bonus). Comprehensive Specialist Training We recognise that an NQ solicitor is at the beginning of their professional career. You will therefore receive structured training and supervision across our principal practice areas. Training will include: * SEND law, including EHCPs, annual reviews, mediation and First-tier Tribunal appeals; * Housing law and relevant civil and administrative law procedures; * Welfare benefits and associated appeals; * Social care law and disputes involving statutory services; * Deputyship and Court of Protection work; * Legal research, case strategy and professional drafting; * Client interviewing and case management; * Tribunal and court preparation; and * Advocacy and representation. • Identifying related legal needs across our practice areas: for example where a SEND matter also raises housing, welfare benefits, social care or deputyship issues and opening further matters where it is in the client’s interests;, • Business development for a specialist practice, including building referral relationships with schools, SENCOs, charities, parent and carer groups, advocates and other professionals; and, • The running of a modern law practice: file management systems, precedents, time recording, compliance and the commercial management of a caseload. You will initially work closely with senior members of the firm and will take on greater responsibility and independence as your knowledge, skills and confidence develop.

    Full-time - London Fields / Mare Street, East London About the role We are building a new kind of hospitality space in Hackney. A curated kitchen and bar programme where chefs, bartenders and collaborators take over the space for short residencies, events and experiences. The concept is designed to constantly evolve, with a changing calendar of pop ups, dinners, tastings, private hires and social events. We are looking for a Sous Chef to help lead the kitchen and food programme day to day. This is not a traditional Sous Chef role. The right person will help run the kitchen during our in-house food programme while also working closely alongside a rotating line-up of chefs and collaborators during residencies and events. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of opening a new concept from the ground up while learning from different personalities, styles and approaches across the industry. The role will work in close partnership with our Group Head Chef to shape and execute the food offering outside of collaborations, while helping maintain consistency, standards and operational excellence across a constantly evolving programme. This role will be central to the identity and rhythm of the space. We are looking for someone who is organised, ambitious, adaptable and genuinely excited by food, hospitality and creative collaboration. About the space The venue is an intimate, industrial kitchen and bar in Mare Street, with a large open kitchen and counter seating at its heart. It is designed as a platform for rotating chefs, drinks-led experiences and social hospitality. The space is curated and operated by us.

About us We’re the team behind Crudo and Tiny Wine, two independent hospitality concepts we’ve built in London over the past few years. Crudo opened in 2019 and has grown into a group of restaurants built around modern Latin American food, strong atmosphere and warm, energetic service. Tiny Wine came out of our love for smaller, more intimate drinking spaces, with a big focus on personality, curation and creating a place people genuinely want to spend time in. A big part of what we’ve learnt through both brands is that people come back for more than just the food or drinks. They come back for the feeling of the place, the team behind it, and the sense that something thoughtful is being built. Rocola Studio is the next step in that. It gives us the opportunity to create a more flexible space built around a changing programme of chefs, drinks, events and collaborations. A space that can evolve constantly, while still being run with a clear point of view and strong operational standards. We’re excited by the idea of building something that feels social, current and full of life. Somewhere guests want to return to regularly, and somewhere chefs and collaborators are genuinely excited to be part of.

    Property Lettings Manager — (Founding Team) London | Hybrid (Remote + Field) | Commission-only | Entrepreneurial Venture *Please read this ad in full before applying.* The journey has already begun, are you ready to jump onboard? King Khawaja Angels is the newly-launched property management and concierge arm of King Khawaja Investments LLP, registered in Mayfair. We're building something from the ground up — a boutique lettings and concierge brand delivered by a team we call our "Angels," backed by AI-driven client communication tools. There is no existing client book to inherit — this is about sourcing, pitching, and closing deals entirely from scratch. A different way of working This is a hybrid role — part remote, part field. We're breaking away from the conventional office model in favour of something more flexible and fluid. You'll stay connected with the team through regular Zoom calls and informal catch-ups at convenient spaces — a local café, lounge, or hotel — to stay aligned on the latest developments. You'll also have exclusive use of our Old Bond Street office to entertain clients for meetings and signings, giving you a prestigious Mayfair address to close deals from. We're not looking to become another high street estate agent. Our vision is to build the biggest virtual lettings management and concierge service in London — and become the market leader in this field. This is not a conventional job. There is no basic salary. This is an opportunity for someone entrepreneurial who wants to build a client base, earn serious commission, and grow with a brand from day one. Who we need • A strong-minded, self-driven individual — not someone looking for a 9-to-5, • Comfortable with the uncertainty and grind of an early-stage venture, • Willing to put in the work to build relationships and win landlords from scratch, with no existing clientele to fall back on — every deal starts from zero, • Experience in lettings/property management preferred, but mindset matters more than CV, • Someone who understands that building something worthwhile takes hustle before it pays off What you'll do • Build a landlord client base from the ground up — sourcing, pitching, onboarding, • Manage the full lettings lifecycle: tenant sourcing, referencing, compliance, renewals, • Represent the brand with a concierge-level standard of service, • Help shape the operational backbone of the business as it scales, • Complete autonomy to steer the business in the direction you believe will drive its success — this isn't a role where you follow a script, it's one where you help write it Rewards Commission-based: 40% for your first 12 months, or your first 25 landlords onboarded — no ceiling on what you can earn • 28 days holiday, • Your birthday off, every year, • Travel opportunities as the business grows, • Training and professional development support, • A genuine seat at the table in a founding team — real equity in the brand's future, not just a job title If you're looking for safety and a guaranteed paycheque, this isn't for you. If you're looking to build something and be rewarded properly for it, we want to hear from you. Love Khawaja's Angels 12 Old Bond St, Mayfair
