We understand that work is a large part of most people’s lives and so we provide benefits such as socials, further learning opportunities, flexible working and the ability to develop your own ideas at the firm. Making sure staff have a work life balance is important to us as we know that looking after our staff helps keep everyone happy.

We aim to hire the most talented individuals on the market, with a diverse team made up of people from all backgrounds. We want to be a gateway for talented individuals from non-traditional backgrounds to work in the legal industry.

We do not discriminate on the basis of where you went to school or which university you attended. Everything we do is focused on supporting our employees working towards our vision. We invest in providing our lawyers with business coaching, so that they understand their clients’ more than any other lawyers and can contribute to the growth of the group.

Our staff work from fantastic offices, but equally, when they are working from home, they are kitted-out with all the tech and support that they need. Staff are relaxed and enjoy their work, not stressed. They help and are open with each other creating a supportive and nurturing environment for the teams to grow. We host regular team and firm events to demonstrate how much employees are appreciated and get everyone driving towards our vision. We also offer a benefits package that is tailored to our team, who were heavily involved in deciding on the benefits that we offer.

All our staff, fee earners and support staff, are treated as equals and share in the opportunities that we offer to develop and progress their careers. Our staff feel valued in an ambitious and steady law firm which has embraced digital and remote working with ease. We have a strong and growing client base, supported by a modern marketing and business development strategy.

We recruit throughout the year for all our practice areas and if you are passionate about what you do, have a following or are interested in developing a career in construction and real estate law, then contact us today.

We are interested in developing our trainees and junior staff both in their careers and professional aspirations. We do our best to provide them with the tools to achieve their goals at all stages.

People are our number one asset, and we therefore prioritise learning and development. You will be encouraged to develop your strengths, skills and knowledge at the firm and to apply them whenever appropriate.

Our senior team are always on hand to answer any questions and to offer helpful guidance.

We currently only take on students who are over 18 and on a case by case basis. With staff currently working from home, we are unable to accommodate work experience requests at this time.

We welcome diversity in our team and encourage equality of opportunity throughout the business.

We treat everyone equally regardless of:

• Sex (including pregnancy, maternity and paternity)
• Marital or civil partnership or relationship status
• Gender reassignment
• Sexual orientation
• Race or racial group (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins)
• Religion or belief
• Age (or perceived age)
• Caring responsibility
• Disability (past or present)

We are an award-winning law firm, most recently winning:

• Aug 2020 - Best Boutique Construction Law Firm in the Build Magazine Real Estate & Property Award.

We take ownership of our clients’ legal issues so that our clients can focus on growing their businesses. Our experienced, specialist solicitors provide easy to understand pragmatic advice that enable our clients to make commercial decisions.

We use systems, processes and technology to provide a fantastic client journey. We hire expert, senior solicitors that have a huge depth of knowledge of experience. We are ravenous in our consumption of data and use this to monitor and improve the client journey, the quality of our advice and the value that we offer.

Unlike most law firms, we actively try to put people together. We understand how fortunate we are to have such great contacts. We proactively introduce our clients and contacts to each other to create business opportunities.

We continually develop and invest in our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. These align with our ethos and are often suggested by staff throughout the year.

We are committed to managing our business so that is makes a positive impact on society and the environment.

We always like to ‘think green’ and aim to act sustainably. We understand this is an on-going process and therefore we minimise paper files wherever possible, encourage recycling, encourage home working and reducing travel requirements.

Ridgemont aims to be a leading environmentally aware and responsible law firm.
