Working as a Consultant Solicitor gives you the flexibility to plan your working hours, the freedom to take holidays to suit you, and your choice of location, should you choose to work from home. With no commute, and no requirement to attend office-based management meetings, you could use those hours more profitably to maximise your billable hours should you wish or focus on a better work-life balance with your family. Additionally, you can enjoy substantial financial benefits; for instance, the financial benefits that would accrue to someone with a following of 100k on a fee-share basis would far outweigh what you could expect to earn in a salaried role. The Consultant Solicitor Candidate: Our client is looking for applications from Solicitors, Senior Lawyers or highly ambitious Juniors who have a solid, demonstrable following of clients. The Firm will consider any area of legal practice, excluding Legal Aid matters, Childcare, Housing, Personal Injury and Crime matters.
