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but.\n\nWe know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice — firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made.\n\nThat’s not how we do things.\n\nAt Hedges Law, we’ve reimagined the traditional model by putting ownership 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 first employee-owned law firms, you won’t just advise the business, you’ll own part of it — 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— and how frustrating it can be to feel undervalued, brought in too late to influence decisions, stuck enforcing outdated processes, or held back by slow-moving leadership and limited commercial input.\n\nIf that sounds familiar, it’s worth reading on.\n\nAt Hedges, our people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\nAnd this is because we are EMPLOYEE-OWNED — one of a very small number of firms in the UK with this structure.\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\nThe 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.\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 via Employee Ownership\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 through Employee Ownership\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...

Did you think that being Senior in a practice might mean better hours? Good money? At least a clearer future, maybe with an exit somewhere very distant? Did you think it’d make you feel valued? Nobody's pretending architects aren't important. They are. But the person clients now ask for first, pay properly for, and listen to without arguing is whoever manages the BSA compliance. That shift isn't slowing down. For much better money, better prospects, more respect and less time at work you could be running the BRPD function for a very established Safety Consultant. That’s not as much pressure as it sounds. Firstly they’ve got very good sales and bid teams already sitting on literally dozens of enquiries. So the pressure to win work from day one is low. Secondly you’d be working in an organisation with internal RBIs, fire engineering and even facade specialists supporting your team. Uniquely you never have to go anywhere else to ask a technical question. You'd focus on building the function and processes, then quickly building your team. You’ll be further rewarded with the growth of the function. You can earn well into the hundred thousands in this seat and get a significant bonus. Progression, even for a Director isn't a conversation you have to start yourself here. They’re very good at coming to you. When it comes to flexibility, you can have it all your own way. They don’t mind if you’re working from home so you can pick the kids up, and aren’t worried about what time you start and finish. As long as you’re delivering and keeping everything to schedule you can crack on. What you'll be doing • Running the BRPD consultancy end-to-end, • Ideally managing the CDM function alongside it, • Building and shaping the team, • Spotting opportunities, with bid and sales support behind you, • Building processes, functions and standards., • Oversight of project load and resourcing. What you'll need • Architect or Architectural Technologist background, • AD or Director level experience, • Knowledge / experience of Building Regulations Principal Designer, • HRB experience, • Confidence leading a function, not just delivering on one Message Matt Kirk on LinkedIn or email No CV?
