Wroclaw

Through my 7+ years at Factor, I’ve been able to combine business with legal knowledge and achieve my career goals. I joined as a Team Lead in 2015, and over time, I progressed to Global Team Lead. In March 2022, I was promoted to Deputy Site Leader for our Wroclaw Hub. I really believe that we are changing the market, and I am proud that I am building that bright future alongside my fellow Factorians.

Project Manager
Belfast

After graduating with my JD and PhD in law, I sought a workplace where I could learn more about the future of legal. Having worked in a traditional law firm and with in-house counsel, Factor offered a unique experience that I couldn't find elsewhere. The opportunities and support that I have realized over the last 5+ years have been exceptional. From supporting my SQE journey to being Global Chair for the Early Career Women’s ERG and serving as Editor-in-Chief of the UK newsletter, my personal & professional development continues to go from strength to strength.

Client Delivery
Belfast

I help lead Factor’s delivery of financial services contracts, often of the complex and urgent variety, for a long-standing banking client. As a lawyer with a business background, I count myself fortunate to be in a role that offers opportunities to engage across diverse disciplines, including client management, people development, technical law, and operational excellence.

Product Integration
Wroclaw

As a law student, contracts stood out to me because I considered them the “programming language of business relationships,” and I’m into that. Mix that with a preference towards open-minded, international, and friendly work environments and you’ll understand what got me to work at Factor.

Questions and Answers

Is Factor a law firm?
No! Our structure allows us to operate differently to a law firm and still deliver complex legal work, negotiate contracts that drive our client's business forward, and partner with some of the leading law firms in the world.
I don’t have to deal with the grueling hours, partner structure, or stuffy environment found at law firms while still getting access to the part I want - exciting work with prestigious clients.

Is Factor only for people with law degrees?
No! Factor is a mix of business professionals and people with legal experience who are not practicing, as well as people with law degrees. We are continually looking for Project Managers, Product Developers, Solution Architects, and professionals across sales, finance, and technology (to name a few). In short, people with diverse background who have one thing in common - a passion for growth and transformation. View our open roles!
The people I work with every day have a huge variety of experiences and expertise. This has made me more knowledgeable, creative, and just overall better at what I do.

What does it feel like to be in a Factor office?
Remember the drab, fluorescent lit, grey-carpeted offices of yore? Now picture the opposite. Factor offices are bright and buzzing, charged with the energy of cutting-edge legal innovation. Team members collaborate in open plan booths, participants learn in dedicated training rooms, colleagues connect in warm open spaces with private, focused areas found throughout the building. In short, leave the business wear at home.
Our office isn’t the typical 9-to-5 grind; it’s more like a shared space that comes alive when needed. Most days, our team works from various locations worldwide. When we gather at our physical offices, ideas sync up, and creativity thrives. We’re free-range thinkers, not tethered to desks. Working for Factor means having the best of both worlds: freedom to work from anywhere and the power to create something extraordinary when we come together.

Legal has a reputation for being soul-sucking. How is Factor different?
We are proud to cultivate genuine connections with colleagues, investment in our people, a true work/life balance, a “people first” culture, and a variety of development paths. Not to mention, you’ll be in the trenches gaining hands-on experience with prestigious clients, not just providing advice. We could go on, and we will, if you give us the chance. Check out our open roles and let’s talk more.
Law is my passion and Factor gave me the opportunity to practice it in an environment that works for me. I also lead a team of talented people and work with exciting clients.

Will I get to interact with clients?
Yes! At Factor, no one is ‘back office’—everyone is client-facing and your interaction with clients could be as simple as an email or Teams meeting to discuss a specific engagement, or it could be as immersive as working side-by-side with them. We are proud to be strong partners that operate as extension of the client.
Absolutely! I work closely with clients on a daily basis. Our clients are people too and even though we are providing a service, that personal connection and feeling of being able to help support them is incredibly fulfilling. The clients tend to treat us as one of their own and that presents us with a unique opportunity to be fully immersed in their business. The result is an integrated, productive partnership.

Will I be on my own? Or will I have the support of a team?
You’ll be surrounded by a supportive, knowledgeable, and creative team that works collaboratively to get the job done. Teams at Factor always include bright legal minds, but also skilled project managers, technologists, and subject matter experts.
Me and my team are there for each other and I also can take the space I need to get my work done. It’s a perfect combination.

What flexibility does Factor offer for remote and in office working?
Our goal is to be as flexible as possible and enable team members to work in the most effective, healthy way for them, while taking into account client needs and preferences. Usually, this means team members work from both the office and home.
I’ve created a schedule that works for both me and the client. The combination of being both onsite and home has allowed me to live a more fulfilling life.

Do people have opportunities to grow?
Absolutely! Managers at Factor are dedicated to their team member’s growth and our People Team makes it a priority to ensure development opportunities are available. Team members who seek out opportunities to expand their scope often work on new and challenging problems that elevate their career paths.
Factor’s culture is highly people-centric. We have an extensive in-house L&D curriculum, along with training academies and external programs. Our managers consistently seek ways to upskill talent and offer opportunities for advancement within the organization. My journey began in Project Management, where I eventually evolved into the European Head of Projects. From there, I transitioned to Site Lead for our Belfast Hub, and subsequently, I became Global Industry Lead for Life Sciences. Throughout this journey, Factor has continuously honed my skills and presented exciting growth opportunities.
