Why Harwood & Co? ¶

We operate on a relatively simple premise: people perform at their best when they feel part of a supportive and open culture. That’s why we work hard to create and maintain that feeling here at Harwood & Co (so much so, we have appointed a Culture Manager to ensure we stay true to our word and continue to keep our values front and centre as we grow).

We pride ourselves on our 'open door' way of working. Whilst we love to celebrate our successes together (and do this often), we also collaborate and support one another through the challenges, ensuring we learn from these both individually and as a firm.

Our smaller size and flatter structure offer opportunities that can be hard to come by at larger firms. Despite our niche focus, our clients, sectors and cases are incredibly diverse, allowing team members to build varied experience quickly. Our proven results and expertise have also attracted a high calibre of clients, so joining a smaller firm does not mean working with small clients.

We believe that our model is a unique offering – 'big firm' clients and cases combined with the family feel, supportive culture and flexibility we know our team values.

WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES SAY

Having worked at a previous law firm for over 14 years, I thought nothing was ever going to compare to that culture. It did not take long to realise it was better here at Harwood & Co. My role involves working in the office, but the flexibility of being able to work from home when needed stands out for me. The praise and appreciation make you go above and beyond your everyday duties. They invest in their employees by supporting us to achieve our goals.

Charmaine Neill, Senior Legal PA

WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES SAY

I think what really sets Harwood & Co apart from previous places I have worked, is that the values of collaboration and small team/family feel are still upheld; loyalty and hard work are valued and recognised, everybody has a voice and we're not just replaceable numbers in the firm. There's a true commitment to being a team and a unit which is so hard to find nowadays.

Cyrielle Lacaille, Associate

Working in a fast-paced firm like Harwood & Co offers excellent learning and development opportunities, whilst being supervised by experienced and approachable directors and managers.

Victoria Stevens, Trainee Solicitor

WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES SAY

I joined Harwood & Co three years ago as a paralegal. The firm has supported me through my training contract and I have recently qualified as a solicitor. I could not have done this without the wealth of support and guidance offered to me by my colleagues and seniors. Harwood & Co offers excellent flexibility which promotes a great work life balance.

Chelsea Harrison, Solicitor

WHAT OUR EMPLOYEES SAY

I have been employed by Harwood & Co for 35 years, and my length of service is testament to the sense of belonging I feel here and the positive culture. There is a great sense of togetherness in the company, everyone is lovely to work with. I always feel supported whether it be for work or personal reasons. The social side has always been a big part of working at Harwood & Co - we have so much fun.

Carol Hagan, Senior Litigation Executive

The right fit... ¶

As a boutique debt and litigation firm, we offer the 'best of both worlds'. In simple terms, this means we offer the warmth, culture and flexibility of a smaller practice, yet the capabilities, calibre of work and opportunities you'd expect from larger firms.

We do things differently here. We don’t operate a hierarchical structure; everyone is approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, and importantly, accessible.

If you are seeking an opportunity to make a difference to a team, carve out a future in a firm that offers training, opportunities for development and access to varied clients, then we might be the team for you.

Growth and progression ¶

We empower team members to work with managers to forge their own career paths, and have offered a number of training contracts (and other courses and qualifications) to help further career progression. As a company we’re on an exciting growth trajectory, which often feeds directly into personal career growth and opportunities for our team members. ¶

At Harwood & Co we are serious about the work we do and we work hard, but we balance that with a relaxed atmosphere. You can expect support in achieving a real work/life balance because we're very aware of the pressures that working in the legal sector can bring, and we want to counteract that. ¶
