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 We know the challenges that come with risk and compliance roles in legal practice firefighting, box-ticking, outdated systems, and being brought in after decisions are made.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. 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Lawyers and how frustrating it can be to feel undervalued, brought in too late to influence decisions, stuck enforcing outdated processes, or held back by slow-moving leadership and limited commercial input.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? The Role at a Glance Solicitor / Risk & Compliance Lead Hybrid Working 3 Days Per Week Competitive Salary Plus: Extensive Benefits Including Company Profit Share via Employee Ownership Reporting to: Managing Director Why this role matters As Head of Risk & Compliance , you ll play a key role in shaping how the firm operates, grows, and protects its reputation.

You ll act as a key compliance advisor to the firm, providing guidance that balances regulatory requirements with commercial awareness. You 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. In 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. About you You re not just technically strong you re someone who can engage, influence and lead. • Qualified Solicitor - likely 5+ years PQE • Strong experience in Risk & Compliance within a legal environment • Deep understanding of legal and regulatory obligations • Commercially aware with a pragmatic approach • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills • Confident advising at all levels of the business • Strong IT skills and openness to innovation • Engaging, approachable and a natural people person • Detail-oriented with strong analytical skills • Positive, proactive and solutions-focused • Calm under pressure and able to meet deadlines • A true team player who supports colleagues • Always looking to improve systems and ways of working Benefits • 25/28 days annual leave (pro rata) plus statutory holidays • Life Insurance • Company pension • Profit sharing through Employee Ownership • Salary sacrifice options • Paperless technology to make your life easier • Coaching & personal development • A genuinely people-first culture • High calibre, supportive team The Bigger Picture We have ambitious plans, exciting growth ahead, and a clear vision for the future.

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 decisions 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 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. 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 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". 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? The Role at a Glance Solicitor / Risk & Compliance Lead Hybrid Working 3 Days Per Week Competitive Salary Plus: Extensive Benefits Including Company Profit Share Reporting to: Managing Director Why this role matters As Head of Risk & Compliance , you ll play a key role in shaping how the firm operates, grows, and protects its reputation.

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 decisions 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 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. 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.

Legal Director- Litigation & Credit Enforcement Insolvency Litigation Enforcement Strategy Direct Commercial Ownership in a Lending Business East Midlands 150,000 - 200,000 DOE + Bonus + Benefits including LTIP Commutable from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, North Oxfordshire, South East Birmingham, Solihull, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, North Hertfordshire (with flexibility for the right individual) The Context An established and growing specialist finance business is seeking to appoint a senior legal professional to take ownership of litigation, recoveries and enforcement across a live lending portfolio. The organisation operates in a fast-moving, commercially driven environment where legal decisions directly influence financial outcomes. It is not a business where legal operates at a distance. Instead, it sits at the centre of decision-making, working alongside credit and finance to manage risk, protect asset value and resolve complex lending situations. This appointment represents a key addition to the senior leadership structure, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer. The role has been deliberately defined with clarity of focus: to lead litigation, enforcement and recoveries with accountability for outcomes, not simply advice. This opportunity arises at a point where the legal function is central to the next phase of growth, with a clear requirement for stronger ownership of litigation outcomes and recoveries performance. The Role This is a role for a lawyer who is comfortable operating where legal judgement and commercial reality intersect. You will take full ownership of insolvency litigation and dispute resolution across the portfolio, shaping and executing enforcement strategies in relation to borrower defaults, distressed exposures and recovery scenarios. External counsel will be engaged where appropriate, however responsibility for direction, pace and outcome will remain with you. This includes direct involvement in formal insolvency situations, working alongside administrators, receivers and insolvency practitioners to protect position and maximise recovery outcomes. Alongside litigation, you will provide leadership and direction to recoveries and enforcement activity, ensuring that performance is actively managed and continuously improved. You will be expected to bring structure, discipline and commercial clarity to the way enforcement is approached, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes in the most efficient manner. This will include managing complex cases where matters progress beyond initial recovery actions into formal insolvency, requiring careful legal and commercial judgement to optimise outcomes. The role requires close engagement with internal stakeholders, particularly credit and finance, contributing directly to decision-making in time-sensitive and often complex situations. You will be expected to form clear views, provide decisive input and take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. This is not a purely advisory position. It is a role defined by ownership, accountability and delivery. The Individual You are likely to be a Partner, Legal Director or senior disputes lawyer within a regional or national law firm, with a strong grounding in insolvency litigation, restructuring or banking disputes. Alternatively, you may already be operating in-house within a lending, credit or recoveries environment as Head of Legal, Legal Director or Senior Legal Counsel and are seeking a broader and more influential role. Experience of handling formal insolvency processes, including working with administrators, receivers or insolvency practitioners, will be a distinct advantage and of particular interest. You will have developed a reputation for sound judgement, the ability to navigate complex situations and a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes. You are commercially aware, pragmatic in your approach and comfortable operating without the safety net of purely advisory work. You are motivated not only by technical excellence, but by the opportunity to apply that expertise in a way that has direct and visible impact. This role will appeal to individuals who want to move closer to the commercial reality of the situations they are advising on, and who are prepared to take ownership of both decisions and results. The Environment The business is entrepreneurial, fast-paced and outcome-focused. Decisions are made quickly and accountability is clear. There is an expectation that senior individuals will engage directly, contribute meaningfully and operate with a high degree of autonomy. For those coming from private practice, the role offers a shift away from billing targets and time recording, without sacrificing complexity or responsibility. For those already in-house, it offers broader scope, greater ownership and closer proximity to strategic decision-making. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a role where legal expertise is not peripheral but central to the success of the business. You will be responsible for shaping litigation strategy, influencing recoveries performance and contributing directly to commercial outcomes. This role is designed for individuals who wish to move beyond advisory work into a position of direct commercial influence and accountability for outcomes. Over time, there is scope for the role to evolve into a broader legal leadership position for an individual who demonstrates both capability and ambition. The remuneration package reflects the seniority and impact of the role, with a base salary in the range of 150,000 to 200,000, together with bonus and long-term incentive arrangements.
