Harper James is a growing, ambitious commercial law firm like no other. We are expanding our commercial team and have a number of exciting opportunities for senior commercial solicitors with 10 years plus experience to join us.
Who we are
Harper James is a national commercial law firm designed to support entrepreneurial businesses from start-up to exit. We aspire to disrupt the model for which legal services are provided to businesses. The firm’s innovative approach to delivering highly tailored and accessible legal advice is considered genuinely different from the establishment.
Founded in 2014, we continue to grow at approximately 40% year on year. Today, we are more than 117 people, supporting over 2500 businesses this financial year, with a turnover around £13m. We expect to double in size over the next 3 years.
What we offer
Our lawyers work on an employed and flexible basis, remotely with access to meeting spaces in Birmingham, Cambridge, London, Manchester, Oxford, and Sheffield.
We work hard to ensure our lawyers feel part of a team, collaborating, sharing ideas, and enjoying each other’s company. The remote setup allows people to work from wherever they want, providing the flexibility they need. However, we want our team members to feel that they belong to an ambitious company and that their contributions towards our growth are recognized individually and as a team.
What does the ideal candidate look like?
This opportunity is suited to lawyers with general commercial experience, particularly in:
- Distribution agreements;
- Agency agreements;
- General terms and conditions for goods and services;
- Some experience of competition law or an interest in training in this area (preferred but not essential);
- Experience in data protection and privacy law.
The bottom line
- Work where and when you want.
- No client following is required. We care about experience, expertise, and commitment to our clients.
- 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 the business.
- A career opportunity for all levels of experience that meets your needs and is capable of evolving as you evolve, whether that means intellectually stimulating work for interesting and grateful clients or building a team.
- Competitive salary and bonus, pension, holiday, and healthcare.
