We welcome approaches from solicitors and trainees who share our ethos and might be interested in discussing joining us. Any joiner would be expected quickly to generate a revenue stream equivalent to their wages. We would be looking for people with whom we could work closely, and therefore likely to share common characteristics with those we have described on this site.
In particular we would want to see evidence of:
- Experience / track-record in the workplace
- Previous marketing success
- A network in this locality
- Character credentials
We discourage applications from LPC Graduates seeking training contracts without previous work experience totalling at least 2 years.
Suitable applications comprising a one-page letter and a single-page CV should be e-mailed to: recruit@mounteney.com
Lock control
In times of widespread unemployment, the entrepreneurial spirit is often stirred into action. Consequently, new business structures spring up almost daily. But, in some cases, it is soon discovered that a basic company constitution does not always cover the most important issues – how control of the business can be locked down, how profits are to be treated, and how exit-strategies can be implemented. These crucial areas are uniquely covered in a Shareholders’ Agreement devised by Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors that is tailored to clients’ needs at the low cost of £200, excluding VAT. Said Jonathan Mounteney: “Whilst it’s possible that Alan Sugar might want something more sophisticated, for 99% of start-up businesses Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors’ form will provide everything the owners can think of – and will also inform their thinking in other areas we know arise in our experience.” Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors’ client, insurance advisor, Impendulo Limited, recently adopted an agreement based on our form. Said chief executive officer Chris James: “We wanted a shareholder agreement, and had some ideas of our own - but we did not know how to put these together. Hargreaves Mounteney Solicitors enabled us to achieve what we had in mind, and also secured areas we probably should have thought about, but didn’t until we began working with them.”
