Edison Law is a small regulated practice. Employee roles sit inside the firm, with named supervision. Consultancy is a defined instruction for a piece of work — not a job title on the SRA record. We welcome either route when a genuine requirement is available.
Apply for an employed role when a vacancy is listed. For consultancy, write with the work you can take and the basis on which you would be instructed.
If no role is listed, a concise speculative approach is still welcome. Do not send original identity documents.
Careers with us
Solicitors and barristers who run files from first instruction through to trial, injunction and enforcement. Private prosecutions, asset recovery and regulatory investigations, with the duties of candour and disclosure taken as seriously as the result.
Field and documentary enquiry that turns a suspicion into a set of established facts: witnesses, continuity, unused material, and the people and assets behind a fraud — including those who have moved or gone to ground.
Financial and digital analysis that a court will accept: ledgers, payment chains, blockchain trails and expert evidence. Speed when funds are still moving; precision when the numbers have to survive cross-examination.
Locating recoverable value and saying, early, whether pursuing it is worth the cost. Registries, nominees, cross-border structures and the difference between an asset that exists and an asset that can be reached.
The people who keep a specialist practice running: matter intake, confidentiality, billing and the operational discipline a criminal evidential file requires. Applications are considered when the work needs them.
Why Edison Law
Solicitors, counsel, investigators and forensic specialists work on the same file. Counsel is instructed where advocacy is needed. The person who scoped the investigation is still on it when the evidence is tested.
The firm is not large enough to hide in. You will be in the room with the client, the evidence and the decision. That is demanding. It is also how people here actually learn the work.
Financial crime is reputationally sensitive. We recruit people who can be trusted with incomplete facts, reluctant witnesses and clients who are often under pressure. If that is not how you work, this is not the place.
What you would join
Every instruction has a named solicitor. Your work is visible on the file, not absorbed into a large team.
Investigators, lawyers and forensic specialists sit on the same matter. Method is written down.

Vacancies
