Operations Team - The heart of Helix
Operations functions at Helix are at the heart of the firm, with clear purpose to support fee earners in their work, and to drive the business’ development and growth.
Our operations functions are integral to Helix and a driving force of our future growth.
Opportunities within our operations team at Helix include;
We look for people who have a passion for what they do, who work hard, and who are ambitious to contribute to and lead our future. If you believe you have skills and/or experience in any field that can add value to our business, we’d love to hear from you.
We are especially interested in applicants with successful experience and knowledge of the digital economy and/or who have specialist technical IT knowledge or experience. Your experience might range from data analysis to marketing and advertising to coding, API schema knowledge, app development or beyond.
Our Application Process
We invite CV and covering letter explaining who you are, what you do, how you can help and why Helix.
We then invite applicants to complete psychometric tests (remotely). This process helps us understand who you are, and what makes you tick. We then review your application and will consider inviting you to interview with at least one, often two rounds of interviews before a decision is made.

Career progression
We need good people to grow with us.
We are a comparably new and ambitious business offering new team members the opportunity to join us at a hugely exciting time when we are experiencing exponential growth in turnover and attracting a roster of high quality work from an increasingly diverse range of clients.
We don’t pay based on regimented or predestined PQE levels. If you’re an exceptional performer we will recognise that at any level from day one whether in marketing or administration or as a paralegal, trainee, solicitor, or partner.
Lawyers that join us will experience client contact and increasing levels of responsibility based on client service and quality of work. There is no cap or collar to what can be achieved at the firm.
We are an efficient and lean business. We don’t carry overheads that don’t contribute to what we do, the quality of our work or the service we provide to our clients. This means we are able to offer very competitive salaries and benefits.
What You Can Expect
A business led by business people, without politics
Imagine what can be achieved if wasted energy is cut away. We have experienced partnership in other law firms and know the distractions and baggage that exist. We only care about the service you provide to clients and to colleagues, and that you are prepared to give your all to helping us all move forwards together. We’ll do all that we can to assist you.
During the Coronavirus pandemic we haven’t furloughed any staff. We have recruited during this period having interviewed remotely via video conferencing. We continue to need good candidates hungry to push on your own career, and the business.
No cap or fixed salary level
Regardless of level of experience if the service and quality of your work and your billing justify it (in that order), your income potential with Helix is not capped or fixed based on PQE. There is no mould to break out of and if you back yourself we won’t hold anyone back.
Market leading packages
We pay market leading salaries for good people.
In addition to market leading salaries team members;

Equipment and technology
All joiners receive a welcome pack including Airpod pro headphones and other ‘swag’.
All staff also receive ‘at least’* dual screens for home office use which have been shown to increase productivity by over 40% (and which we therefore adopted years ago).
*We are currently moving towards providing super wide (curved) monitor screens that have an effective screen size equating to 3x screens to improve working environment and productivity.
We provide enterprise level (best on the market) laptops and equipment, constantly reviewed and updated.
We have worked in the cloud, entirely remotely, for over 11 years. We are also paperless. From day 1 you will have access to processes, systems, equipment, technology and automations, all designed to make your life easier, more efficient in your work, and to improve the quality and consistency clients can expect from Helix.
Transparency
We are as transparent with everyone as we possibly can be on where we are; where we’re heading; and how we plan to get there, which is constantly evolving.
Flexible and remote working
We do have offices and from time to time or on/for specific projects working from an office can be necessary and useful. Equally we are deeply committed to flexible and remote working, and we don’t just say this with passing reference on a ‘one day a week if you’re lucky’ basis. We have hired remotely and multiple team members have and do work from abroad. They can do so seamlessly and remain fully connected; we embrace the global, and digital, economy.
Diverse matters and clientele
We act for a wide range of clients in a wide range of disputes. Our work is increasingly high-quality from an increasingly diverse range of clients based nationally and internationally. We aim to continue hunting for, and winning, local high quality and city level work and relationships.
A dynamic business with budding opportunities
We’re growing fast. There are opportunities for our team to grow with us quickly too. We intend to continue disrupting traditional workflows and winning bigger and more complex clients and disputes.
Ready to get started?
You could be a City lawyer who wants to move out of London and work remotely, or you might be working in a high street firm wanting to learn and earn more within a specialist niche litigation only firm.
There could be any number of reasons to want to move to Helix – if you’re good enough we are flexible enough to create a package that improves your life and our team.
