A Different Way to Practice Architecture... Multiple Remote Architectural Opportunities (Architectural Assistants up to Senior Architect level) International Design Studio (Remote Collaboration Model) Not every architect thrives in a busy studio environment. Some do their best thinking when they have space… space to focus, space to design, and space to work deeply without the noise and distraction that often comes with large offices. For the right individuals, this opportunity offers a very different way of practicing architecture. About the Studio… We are working with a highly experienced architectural design leader who runs a boutique international design consultancy operating across architecture, design advisory and strategic project input. Earlier in his career he was a key figure within one of the UK’s well-known architectural studios, helping lead a respected team delivering a range of projects including residential, hospitality and mixed-use schemes across the UK and internationally. Today, the studio operates with a deliberately different structure. Rather than building a large permanent office team, the practice collaborates with a carefully curated network of architects and designers working remotely, assembling teams around specific projects. The studio sometimes describes this approach as building an “Avengers-like” collective of architectural professionals, each bringing their own specialist skills, interests and perspectives to the work. It is a model that allows talented individuals to contribute to exceptional projects internationally, while maintaining the flexibility and focus that traditional studio environments rarely offer. Current Opportunities… The studio is currently supporting a large and varied portfolio of live projects internationally, resulting in the need to expand their network of collaborating architects. They are therefore keen to identify architectural professionals across several levels: • Part 1 Architectural Assistants, • Part 2 Architectural Assistants, • Architects, • Senior Architects / Senior Designers In particular, the studio would be very interested in speaking with experienced architects or senior designers who are confident shaping projects at concept and planning stages, helping lead early design thinking on a number of live schemes. Projects span both UK-based and international work, covering a varied range of scales and typologies including high-end residential developments, hospitality projects, boutique resort concepts and mixed-use schemes. The studio’s work ranges from smaller, design-led private developments through to large-scale international projects, often forming part of wider masterplans or complex multi-building schemes. Much of the studio’s work sits at the early design and planning stages, where strong architectural thinking, creativity and the ability to shape a project from first principles are particularly valued. That said, there are also opportunities for architectural professionals who enjoy developing projects technically, supporting the progression of live schemes through detailed design and delivery stages where required. One of the strengths of this working model is that architects are often matched to projects based on their particular strengths and interests, whether that be early-stage design thinking, strategic concept development, sector specific or technical delivery. Fully Remote Working… All roles operate completely remotely. Architects collaborate through daily virtual check-ins and ongoing project coordination, working together across different locations and time zones. Architects collaborating with the studio do so on a contractor basis, typically operating through their own limited company. This model tends to work particularly well for individuals who: • are comfortable working independently, • enjoy extended periods of focused design work, • have a well-organised home working environment, • communicate clearly and thoughtfully, • prefer depth of work over constant studio activity Many of the architects who thrive most within this structure describe themselves as naturally more introverted or reflective in their working style. This is a focused, design-led working environment rather than a traditional busy studio culture. Contractor Model… As mentioned, architectural professionals joining the studio collaborate on a contractor basis, typically operating through their own limited company. This arrangement allows the studio to work with talented individuals regardless of their physical location, while also offering a level of flexibility that many architects increasingly value. Importantly, this is not a short-term or experimental model. We originally introduced architects to the studio over five years ago under this structure, and several of those individuals are still working with the practice today. For the right person, this can therefore become a long-term and stable collaboration. At the same time, the model can also suit individuals who may want a defined period of experience before moving on. For example: • Part 1 or Part 2 architectural assistants planning to return to university, • architects seeking greater lifestyle flexibility, • experienced designers looking for long-term remote work Software Environment… The studio takes a flexible approach to software, with projects currently utilising a combination of: • Revit, • AutoCAD, • Vectorworks Different projects may require different platforms, but overall the focus is on capability rather than strict software alignment. Exposure to Both UK and Global Projects… Architects working with the studio gain exposure to an unusually diverse range of work. Current and recent projects include: • luxury residential developments, • boutique hospitality schemes, • island resort masterplans, • private client developments, • residential and mixed-use projects in major international markets Who This Might Suit… This opportunity will not appeal to everyone. But it tends to resonate strongly with architectural professionals who: • enjoy working independently and thoughtfully, • are comfortable with fully remote collaboration, • value focus and autonomy, • are excited by international projects and varied design challenges, • want to contribute to a design-led global project portfolio, whilst still having the opportunity to work on UK projects. This is a rare opportunity to collaborate with a highly experienced design leader on ambitious projects around the world, within a working model that prioritises focus, flexibility and creativity. As mentioned, opportunities exist across multiple levels, from Part 1 Architectural Assistants through to Senior Architects, and we are open to speaking with individuals who feel this style of working may suit them. If this sounds like something you would enjoy exploring, please apply with your CV, respond to our screening questions and we will be in touch shortly.

I’m keen to connect with Contentious Probate Solicitors with 3 plus years PQE who are looking to take the next step within a nationally recognised, specialist only contentious probate firm. This is a superb opportunity to immerse yourself fully in your specialism. The Firm This is a boutique firm dedicated exclusively to contentious wills, trusts and estates. There is no non contentious private client work, enabling lawyers to build genuine depth and technical excellence in this complex and fast growing area. The firm has developed a strong national reputation for: • High quality inheritance and estate disputes, • Technical excellence, • A pragmatic, resolution focused approach, • Compassionate client care in sensitive matters Equally important is its culture. The leadership team has built an environment based on trust, flexibility and long term sustainability. Flexible working is not an add on, it is embedded. Lawyers are supported to work remotely or on a hybrid basis, with genuine flexibility around hours where needed. This makes it an outstanding option for those balancing family commitments or seeking a more sustainable long term career path. The Role You will join an established and growing team of specialists, handling a busy caseload of high quality contentious probate matters. Significant hands on experience is essential. This role is suited to someone who has spent at least three years focused primarily on contentious probate, not simply occasional exposure. The caseload will include: • Will and inheritance disputes, • Claims under the Inheritance Provision for Family and Dependants Act 1975, • Trust and estate disputes, • Capacity and validity challenges, • Executor and trustee disputes You will be trusted to manage matters independently, with support from experienced colleagues when needed. Why This Opportunity Stands Out • Specialist only contentious probate practice, • Genuine work life balance and flexibility, • Remote and hybrid working as standard, • Clear and realistic pathway to Partnership, • Collaborative culture with no internal competition, • Strong pipeline of high quality work, • A firm that values wellbeing and long term careers Whether you are a mid level solicitor wanting to deepen your expertise or a more experienced lawyer seeking flexibility without sacrificing quality or progression, this role can be shaped around your career goals. About You • 3 plus years PQE with strong contentious probate experience, • Confident managing cases independently, • Strong technical skills and sound judgment, • Empathetic and client focused, • Comfortable working autonomously within a supportive structure, • Looking for a firm that genuinely respects life outside of work If you would like a confidential conversation, feel free to message me directly or contact Rachael Atherton at G2 Legal Recruitment. This is a rare opportunity to join a market leading specialist practice combining excellent work with genuine flexibility and a deeply human culture.

Join a high-performing national conveyancing firm where success is genuinely rewarded. Last year, every employee received a bonus, and in the first quarter alone 40% of the team achieved the top-tier ‘Platinum Bonus’, equivalent to £15,000 annually if sustained. It’s a rare opportunity to join a firm that consistently recognises and rewards strong performance. I am working with a well-regarded national conveyancing practice to recruit an experienced Residential Conveyancer for a fully remote position. In this role, you’ll manage your own caseload, handling a broad mix of transactions including freehold, leasehold, new build, unregistered, and shared ownership matters. In return, you’ll benefit from a competitive base salary alongside a highly attractive bonus scheme. Most conveyancers earn over £10,000 per year in bonuses, with top performers reaching £15,000 or more. You’ll also enjoy the flexibility of 100% remote working, clear career progression opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package. You will take responsibility for managing residential conveyancing matters from instruction through to completion, working autonomously while remaining part of a supportive and collaborative remote team. The firm offers the opportunity to grow your caseload and develop your role in line with your performance and career ambitions. To be considered, you should have proven experience independently managing a residential conveyancing caseload, along with excellent communication, organisation, and time-management skills. Experience mentoring junior team members and familiarity with Visualfiles and Practice Manager systems would be advantageous, though not essential. The benefits package includes 25 days’ holiday (with the option to buy or sell days), company pension, healthcare cash plan, enhanced family leave, bonus potential of up to £15,000 per year, access to an Employee Assistance Programme, discounted legal services, a Cycle to Work scheme, and more.
