What is the company culture at Harper James?

To advance in my role and acquire knowledge while having the opportunity to grow within the team. Flexible remote working, complemented by options for in-person meetings and team gatherings.

Outstanding healthcare benefits, including Vitality GP and mental health support, are provided. The organisation promotes a unified culture and values, guided by Toby Harper, ensuring these principles remain integral to our growth.

Office lift breaks to frequently

Amazing team atmosphere, everyone is supportive and willing to help each other. Harper James has a great company culture, with a focus on innovation and creativity.

Sometimes communication can be an issue but this is improving month on month.

What I love is that Harper James isn't afraid to evolve and grow - constantly looking at our people policies, benefits and ways of working to ensure people are at the heart of everything we do, whilst a 10 year+ established company we work more like a tech start up - very progressive!!!! I think a great culture here exists, and people are genuinely warm and empathetic. I enjoy interacting with everyone I interact with. You get a lot of autonomy to manage your workload and time as you see fit, and a company with that amount of trust in it's people is a winner for me personally.

Sometimes, our people find remote working hard, even though it's such an amazing positive benefit for the teams that can work remotely. I would just ask any potential candidates for remote roles to fully review and understand what it means to be a part of a remote team that only meets up a few times a year. Think of the time and money you save on commuting, but put strategies in place to help you prioritise your own mental health, build your network of friends here (and you will, everyone is lovely).

I have been working for Harper James for 18 months now. Every day is a new challenge, and I am constantly engaged by the work I am doing. I am always learning new things and developing my skills, which have not only helped me develop professionally, but also as a person, as I have been able to transfer the skills and attributes I have learned in this role to my life more generally. I have an incredibly supportive team around me who are always happy to help with any advice I need, whether work related or otherwise. This includes management, who I never feel hesitant to chat to, which speaks to the type of the culture the firm promotes.

None that spring to mind.

If you're thinking of joining Harper James you need to let go of any preconceptions you might have about working at a law firm. It's more like being at a tech scale-up - we work in a really agile way, collaborate across teams, are genuinely passionate about being the best we can be for our clients and each other, and people are treated like adults. Decisions are made quickly and there's absolutely clarity on our goals. The flexibility for remote workers is invaluable to me as a parent.

If you're not used to working remotely you need to consider how you'll manage that - for many of us it works really well, we have daily stand-ups and check-ins with team members, plus regular visits to HQ. From a personal perspective, managing lunch hours and time after work is important to achieve balance and time away from the desk.

Good leadership Flexibility Decent pay
