    Legal Consultancy – A Soft Landing for Lawyers Set your own hours Work from your preferred location I am recruiting for a unique opportunity offering lawyers a supported transition into legal consultancy and flexible working. The founder of the firm is forward-thinking and understands the challenges of building a practice, which is why the firm provides work for its consultants alongside their own business development efforts. This ensures the security of a monthly income while you build your own practice. With a background at Magic Circle law firms and some of the world’s largest corporations, the founder launched the consultancy to offer UK lawyers a modern alternative to traditional law firm structures. The firm has particular expertise in advising start-ups, scale-ups, VC-backed SMEs and other high-growth companies, including assisting clients in securing investment. The business has since grown rapidly to almost 50 professionals. Who should apply This opportunity is particularly suited to lawyers seeking a more flexible and modern way of working, while wanting the stability and support often missing from traditional fee-share models. The firm is particularly interested in lawyers practising in the following areas: • Corporate, • Commercial, • Employment, • Finance & Restructuring, • Intellectual Property, • Property / Real Estate, • Tax However, applications from lawyers in other practice areas are also welcome. Why you should apply For many lawyers, the idea of building their own practice is appealing, but the risks of leaving the security of employment can make the move feel daunting. This opportunity offers a safer and more structured route into consultancy. If you have ever considered a move into consultancy, I would encourage you to apply and have an informal conversation to learn more. Unlike typical project-based consultancy work, the firm offers long-term consultancy relationships and consistent support while you build your practice. Consultant lawyers also benefit from: • Paralegal assistance and access to a collaborative legal team, • Administrative, operational and finance support, including invoicing and back-office functions, • In-house risk and compliance team, • Comprehensive professional indemnity insurance, • Holiday cover for client matters, • Mentorship and guidance while building your consultancy practice, • An internal referral programme offering up to 15% on matters referred internally
