About Harper James

An environment with no politics, no bureaucracy and a great team of people who all play a fundamental part in the success and continued growth of our business.

Harper James is a national commercial law firm designed specifically to support entrepreneurial businesses from start-up to scale-up and beyond with top level legal advice at critical stages in their development.

We aspire to disrupt the model for which legal services are provided to businesses. Regularly referred to as ‘The Netflix of the legal world’, our innovative remote working and subscription model approach to delivering highly tailored, affordable and accessible legal advice is considered genuinely different to the establishment.

Working at Harper James

 

Legal team

The majority of solicitors at Harper James work remotely but have access to meeting space in Birmingham, Cambridge, London, Manchester, Oxford and Sheffield.

We work really hard to ensure everyone feels part of a team so they can collaborate, share ideas and enjoy each other’s company. The remote set up allows our people to work from wherever they want and have the flexibility that suit them.

We want our people to feel that they belong to an ambitious organisation and that their contribution towards our growth is recognised individually and as a team.

We offer career opportunities for all levels of experience to meet your needs and that evolve as you evolve, that means intellectually stimulating work for interesting and inspiring clients, building and leading a team or, for more junior lawyers, an opportunity to accelerate your career in a role supported by an experienced mentor.

No client following is required. We care about your experience, expertise and commitment to our clients.

Business support

We regularly offer legal support vacancies and business support opportunities in our Client Services, Finance, HR, Recruitment, Marketing and Business Development teams.

While some positions are office based, some offer remote working and all provide great opportunities to evolve your career and grow professionally within a collaborative and supportive environment at a growing organisation that is leading innovation in the legal service sector.
