Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting the recruitment of a Lawyer (UK Financial Sector Focus) on behalf of a UK charity working at the intersection of law, finance and sustainability, with a global reputation for producing rigorous legal analysis that helps clarify how existing legal frameworks apply to climate and nature-related financial risks. This newly created role will play a key part in shaping the organisation's expanding programme of work on investor fiduciary duties across the UK financial sector. This post is offered as a one-year fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension subject to funding. The role can be fully remote or hybrid, with access to a London co-working space, and will involve occasional travel. The postholder will lead the development and delivery of our client's UK investor fiduciary workstream, initially focusing on the insurance, pensions and banking sectors. This will involve scoping and commissioning authoritative legal analysis from leading commercial law firms and academics, translating complex legal findings into practical guidance for boards, trustees and their advisers, and tracking relevant regulatory and disclosure developments across the financial services landscape. The role involves building and maintaining relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, including institutional investors, regulators, professional bodies, and the legal community, as well as representing the charity at conferences, roundtables and other external forums. Working closely with the Executive Director within a small and collaborative team, the successful candidate will also contribute to communications, strategic development and fundraising activity. We are looking for a qualified solicitor or barrister in England and Wales with strong expertise in financial services law, ideally in insurance, banking, or pensions. Candidates should be able to demonstrate clear engagement with climate change or environmental sustainability, whether through their professional work, research, writing, pro bono activity, or other initiatives that connect legal practice with climate- and nature-related financial risks. To be successful, you need to bring a deep understanding of how financial institutions are structured and regulated, alongside a demonstrable commitment to addressing climate and nature-related financial risks through legal and governance frameworks. You will be a confident communicator, confident and effective in public speaking, with the ability to represent the organisation at conferences, roundtables and stakeholder events, and to communicate complex legal ideas clearly to diverse audiences. This role would suit a self-starter who is comfortable working with a high degree of ownership in a small, purpose-driven organisation and who is motivated by the opportunity to apply their legal expertise to drive meaningful change. To apply, please submit your up-to-date CV by 3 May at 23:59 AM. Shortlisted candidates will then be asked to provide a tailored cover letter. Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information. As a leading charity recruitment specialist and a certified B Corp , Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.

The title might look familiar but life at Hedges is anything but. We 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. That s not how we do things. At 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. Here, 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.

If that sounds familiar, it s worth reading on. At Hedges, our people are: • Empowered (your voice genuinely shapes the business) • Valued as strategic contributors, not gatekeepers • Trusted to balance compliance with commerciality • Challenged in a progressive, forward-thinking firm • Supported with modern systems and processes • Accelerated in their development • Rewarded properly including profit share And this is because we are EMPLOYEE-OWNED one of a very small number of firms in the UK with this structure. Fancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtual or otherwise)? Ok, back to being different We 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. Whilst 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.

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. Last 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?

At 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. Here, 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. We 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. If that sounds familiar, it s worth reading on. At Hedges, our people are: • Empowered (your voice genuinely shapes the business) • Valued as strategic contributors, not gatekeepers • Trusted to balance compliance with commerciality • Challenged in a progressive, forward-thinking firm • Supported with modern systems and processes • Accelerated in their development • Rewarded properly including profit share And this is because we are EMPLOYEE-OWNED one of a very small number of firms in the UK with this structure. Fancy a confidential coffee and chat (virtual or otherwise)? Ok, back to being different We 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. Whilst 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. Word on the street: "City Firm Quality exported to Oxfordshire & The Cotswolds". The 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. Last 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?
