If you’re looking to join an entrepreneurial firm that is challenging the status quo of traditional law firms, this could be the opportunity for you.
As a Client Partner at Hybrid, you will be building and managing your own portfolio of clients where you will be their first point of contact. In order to do this, you will need to have a strong knowledge and a keen interest in the areas of corporate, commercial, intellectual property and employment law.
It will be your job to really understand our clients’ businesses and provide them with the right level of guidance and support as and when they need it. You will be working closely with our Partners to ensure our clients receive the advice they need in a timely manner.
And when you’re not helping our clients to grow and protect their businesses, you’ll be working closely with the management team at Hybrid to help grow and develop our business and your role within it.

- A law degree with a minimum of a 2:1
- Excellent all round organisational skills
- Attention to detail
- Strong interpersonal skills
- Great communication skills
- A good sense of humour
- Self-motivated
- Initiative
- Problem solving qualities
- Strong team player
- Punctual / time management skills
- Receptive to challenge and change

- Foreign language skills
- A creative talent
- Hobbies, sporting or cultural interests outside of work
- Will contribute to a fun and dynamic working environment
Why Hybrid?
Hybrid are a modern law firm with a unique business model.
Also - we don’t like the idea of graduates starting their career or Paralegals continuing their career in a stuffy office where they are asked to photocopy 100-page documents day after day, not to mention the frequent coffee runs for the partners and associates. We want our Client Partner to interact with our clients from day one and our culture is based on a team approach, so we operate a modern, relaxed office.
Asides from our model, we believe the following qualities set us apart and will make your time with Hybrid a rewarding one in more ways than just financially:
Clients – We work with some really exciting, innovative and fast growing businesses ranging from restaurant chains, fast moving retail consumer brands, engineering companies to record labels and creative agencies. You’ll have the chance to work closely with them.
Hands-on Role - You will be our clients’ first port of call when it comes to legal guidance and updates in the areas of commercial, corporate, employment and IP. You’ll also work alongside our very experienced team of Associates where you will gain direct and extensive experience into the everyday matters they handle on behalf of our clients.
Culture – We’re passionate about our work but we’re still able to enjoy a good time with team events. The office environment is professional yet relaxed, and we allow flexible working.
Career prospects – Whether you move on to your next position with Hybrid or you pursue a training contract elsewhere (if you ever want to leave), you will have developed practical skills in dealing with a range of legal issues combined with commercial acumen – both are skillsets highly regarded by potential employers.
The Package
- Competitive package to be discussed at interview.
- Flexible working.
