Careers
We do not think there is a magic formula to the Higgs culture
At the heart of Higgs is a culture that celebrates diversity, innovation and most importantly, the individuals who make up the team. We want working at Higgs to be more than just a job; we want it to be a fulfilling career.
The firm’s commitment to valuing its people, whatever your role, manifests in various ways. For example, our mentoring programme helps not only to guide people through the intricacies of the legal world but also encourages them to voice their ideas. The culture of continuous learning at Higgs ensures that wisdom is shared and growth is nurtured.
The team is everything at Higgs
Over your time with the firm, we hope that the associations with colleagues, clients, business partners and the community become enduring relationships. We believe that a connected team is a productive team. Regular team-building activities, from events in our Atrium to regular social gatherings, foster a sense of camaraderie that transcends the boundaries of the office (be that physical or remote). It isn’t just about the legal matters; it is about people working together toward common goals.
The partners at Higgs understand the importance of supporting their team’s professional development. Through a range of experts, they provide ongoing training, workshops and seminars to keep everyone abreast of the latest legal trends. We know that supporting personal and professional development and investing in our people not only enhances their skills but adds value to the firm’s reputation

Our values are CLEAR and are the guiding principles at the heart of everything we do. They are far more than simply words on a page. They breathe life into our actions and words, guiding our interactions with our people, clients, business partners and community.
