About North Wales Community Law Our vision is that everyone in North Wales has access to the services and expertise they need to uphold their rights, fight inequality and challenge injustice. North Wales Community Law is an independent, not-for-profit legal charity committed to alleviating poverty, promoting equality, and helping everyone create a fair and just society. We do this by providing free, community based legal advice on issues affecting the day to day lives of people living in North Wales, using the law as a tool for social change, and sharing knowledge and skills across the legal and charity sectors. Since opening our doors in 2023 we ve provided expert legal advice to people in need who would otherwise have no access to justice. We ve formed innovative collaborations with grassroots organisations supporting individuals, and with national charities challenging public bodies. We have established a national profile across Wales and the UK, championing the legal rights of people in North Wales who are marginalised through poverty, discrimination, or disadvantage.

With a reputation for delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions, this firm offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of equity-based incentives. Your new role You'll advise a diverse portfolio of clients-including owner-managed businesses, private equity-backed ventures, family enterprises, and listed companies-on how to attract, motivate, and retain talent through equity reward strategies. Your work will span from executive-level planning to broader employee schemes, offering strategic guidance across the full lifecycle of incentive plans.
