Who we are
Helix Law has grown rapidly to become one of the largest specialist litigation law firms in the South East of England. We’re built like a start-up: cloud-based, paper-free and driven by technology, so our lawyers can focus on relationships and strategy rather than admin. Talking to the clients and helping them achieve their goals is much more satisfying than paper pushing.
Everyone at Helix has been trained at or by someone at Helix. We do not hire qualified lawyers from outside the organisation, which allows us to maintain a unique culture.
We have a high percentage of employees who are the first in their family to go to university, but we welcome people from any background.
We grow by investing in our people and by helping them reach their potential.
We act for individuals, companies incorporated onshore and offshore, investors, PLCs and construction companies across the country and beyond in disputes ranging from small to very significant. Sometimes our opponents are litigants in person, sometimes big companies represented by City law firms. No two days are the same. We have extensive experience across a broad range of disputes. A quick look at our Google Reviews shows you our values.
We’re looking for bright, ambitious, entrepreneurial people who want to work in a dynamic, growing firm with high freedom and high responsibility.
We are not looking for people who want to be part of an institution that grinds on slowly and doesn’t notice if they do too.
