Job Description
The firm
Boodle Hatfield has been providing practical advice to businesses and individuals for 300 years. Our clients come from a wide range of sectors, both in the UK and internationally, and include some of the most well-established owner-managed businesses and property companies as well as fast-growing entrepreneurial enterprises and ultra-high net worth families. Our chief priority is helping our clients achieve their commercial objectives, whatever form their business takes.
Our approach is to become the long-term trusted adviser to leading wealth creators and owners as well as their commercial and investment enterprises. Having a holistic view of our clients' structures and affairs means we can leverage this to provide the most appropriate and commercial advice to them. This approach has enabled us, throughout our 300-year history, to help our clients successfully navigate the continually changing and sometimes challenging markets in which they operate.
With a history like ours, we know we are built to last. But this isn`t the time to rest on our laurels but instead a chance to reflect and build on our heritage. We are merely today`s custodians of the Boodle Hatfield name, and we want to create a legacy that our successors will be just as proud of.
To commemorate our 300 year anniversary, throughout 2022 we will be rolling out an extensive programme of activities, each of which sows the seeds for the future success of others - our local neighbourhoods, the wider legal profession, and of course our valued clients and our own team.
