Join an employer of choice
We have an enviable reputation for employing the highest calibre of staff and for giving excellent care and service to our valued clients.
The culture of teamwork, support, and client focus are how we define ourselves, and a key part of fulfilling our aim of being an employer of choice. We also understand the need to focus on benefits that support the well being and work life balance of our team.
Employment benefits

HK Flex
Flexibility that works for you.
At HK Law, we know everyone has different commitments and routines. That’s why eligible employees can choose their start and finish times within agreed core hours, helping you achieve a better work-life balance.

Hybrid working that fits your life.
We know flexibility matters, so eligible employees can enjoy a mix of home and office working, giving you the best of both worlds while staying connected with your team.

We believe exceptional performance deserves recognition. That’s why eligible fee-earning employees who exceed their targets can benefit from our performance bonus scheme.
Annual Leave
Enjoy time away from work.
We offer 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time employees), because taking time to rest and recharge is just as important as the work you do.

Need more time off for a big trip, or would rather boost your salary? Our buy and sell annual leave scheme gives you the flexibility to tailor your leave to suit your plans.
Birthday Leave
Make time to celebrate.

Rewarding your journey.
We recognise the contribution you make throughout your career with HK Law, with additional annual leave awarded at key length of service milestones.
