At Ward Hadaway, we offer a unique platform for ambitious and entrepreneurial legal professionals to grow their practice and make a meaningful impact.

Freedom to lead

We believe that the best leaders thrive when given the freedom to innovate. We provide our Partners with the autonomy to build and grow their practice in a way that reflects their unique skills, expertise, and client relationships. Whether you’re looking to expand into new markets, deepen your existing client base, or explore innovative service offerings, we give you the tools, resources, and support to succeed.

Collaborative culture

While we value independence, we also recognise the power of collaboration. Our Partners work alongside a talented team of legal professionals and business services experts, all dedicated to delivering exceptional client service. This collaborative environment fosters innovation, shared success, and a sense of community that sets us apart.

Strategic support

As a Partner, you’ll benefit from a robust infrastructure designed to help you focus on what you do best. From a forward-thinking IT team to a proactive marketing and business development function, our business services teams work seamlessly to support your goals. This allows you to dedicate your time and energy to building relationships, advising clients, and driving growth.

Purpose and responsibility

We are a firm that leads with purpose. Our commitment to being a responsible business extends to every level of our organisation, including our Partners. Whether it’s through sustainability initiatives, pro bono work, or community engagement, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact beyond the boardroom.

Joining Ward Hadaway as a Partner means stepping into a leadership role within a firm that values your initiative, supports your ambitions, and empowers you to make a meaningful impact.

What you'll find

Learning and development

We know that keeping our people on top of their game is a fundamental and essential part of a successful professional services firm. So we support their learning and development by running training and developmental sessions firm-wide. This happens departmentally, at unit or teams level and individually. We also actively encourage our people to identify and attend the conferences and training required for their particular skills and sector specialisms.

As well as developing technical skills, we also take a more rounded approach to the development of our legal professionals. We provide development and training on ‘softer skills’ and equip everyone with the tools and processes to strengthen relationships, both internally and externally.

These are delivered via individual coaching, group sessions, online resources, webinars and seminars.

Your needs will be discussed with you during recruitment, and then regularly with your supervisor or mentor.

Package and benefits

We offer a competitive package.

This comes with a range of benefits, which includes:

  • Life Assurance
  • Permanent Health Insurance
  • Critical Illness Insurance
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • Car parking
Health and wellbeing

We are committed to the health and wellbeing of our people. That is why we offer a range of initiatives, including annual flu vaccinations, Employee Assistance Programme, discounted gym memberships, health analysis, team building and social allowances, to name but a few.

We are also part of the Mindful Business Charter and are developing principles to encourage positive working practices. This helps to reduce unnecessary stress and creates a healthy, agile business atmosphere for our people and clients.

We are at our best when you are at your best, so the wellbeing of our people is a central and fast-evolving agenda for the firm.
