Join Helix Law
We aspire to be a thoroughly modern business, not just a modern firm of solicitors. We want our team to be empowered to always give our clients their very best. When resolving disputes we want our clients to receive the sort of advice we’d hope to receive ourselves.
We are ambitious and our standards are high, matched only by our ambition. There is much to be done and we need good people to help.
Career progression
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.

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.
