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but.\n\nWe know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice - firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made.\n\nThat’s not how we do things.\n\nAt Hedges Law, we’ve reimagined the traditional model by putting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— and how frustrating it can be to feel undervalued, brought in too late to influence decisions, stuck enforcing outdated processes, or held back by slow-moving leadership and limited commercial input.\n\nIf that sounds familiar, it’s worth reading on.\n\nAt Hedges, our people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...

Strategic Business Change ManagerBirmingham or Manchester - 2 days on siteUp to £75k + bonus + benefits I'm working with a professional services business that's got a lot of change going on and is now looking for someone to bring a bit more structure, consistency and common sense to how that change is managed. This is a good one for someone who enjoys being close to the business, working with senior stakeholders, and making change feel practical rather than overly process-heavy. They're looking for a Strategic Business Change Manager who has delivered change workstreams across complex projects or programmes, but who can also step back and think strategically about how change should be implemented across a wider business. So, not just someone who can run the comms and training piece, but someone who understands how to make change land properly, at scale, and in a way that actually sticks. You'll be helping to shape and embed a proper change framework across the organisation. Not something that just looks good on a slide, but something that helps people understand what's changing, why it matters, and how it affects them day to day. You'll be working across transformation projects, supporting senior leaders and project teams with the people side of change. That could include stakeholder engagement, change impact assessments, comms, training, adoption planning, change champion networks, and tracking whether the change has actually landed properly. There's a fair bit to get stuck into, so this would suit someone who likes building things, improving how change is delivered, and bringing people with them along the way. You don't need to be someone who over-complicates it. They need someone structured, confident and practical, who can work with different teams and help turn plans into something the business can actually use. You'll likely be a good fit if you have: • Experience delivering change workstreams across complex projects or programmes, • The ability to think strategically about change implementation, not just delivery activity, • A background in change management, business transformation or a change office environment, • Strong stakeholder management skills, especially with senior stakeholders, • A good understanding of change methodologies such as ADKAR, Kotter or similar, • Experience supporting comms, engagement, training, adoption or benefits realisation, • The ability to bring structure without making things unnecessarily complicated, • A proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach, • Experience in professional services would be useful, but it's not a dealbreaker The role is based from Birmingham, with 2 days per week on site. Salary is up to £75k, with bonus and a strong benefits package on top. It's a strong opportunity for someone who wants to play a visible role in how change is delivered across a sizeable business, without being stuck miles away from the actual people impacted by it.
