We offer a full career path for sharp minds
We offer many career paths and opportunities. We have associates, senior associates and partners. Each role has a clearly defined competency framework to enable you to decide whether applying for promotion would be the right decision for you at any given time.
We recognise that not everyone will wish to or will have the qualities necessary to become a partner within the firm. Our flexible career structure means that you can have a fulfilling career within the firm without necessarily becoming a partner.
Our staff will always be our greatest asset
The key to our growth strategy to date has been the recruitment and development of great people. This will remain the case as we look forward to the years ahead. All of our staff have access to industry-leading training and mentoring to ensure they reach their potential. We’re always keen to hear from people who think Hugh James would be the right environment for them to take their career to the next level.
