Consultant Solicitors

Overview

We recognise that the consultant solicitor role is a major and pivotal initiative that will allow firms and individuals to practice law in a more flexible and responsive way.

• The new practice model is a rewarding yet challenging experience, giving the individual the opportunity to expand their professional and personal horizons
• It is a route to a better life balance for lawyers, and an opportunity to become specialised and focused on delivering better solutions and service to the end clients.
• For many law firm owners, the new model is a way to increase turnover and growth, so their focus is on attracting senior lawyers with a following to generate income.
• This short-term action precludes those bright and enthusiastic younger professionals without a following.
• The pandemic showed us is that the provision of legal services can be delivered through a variety of solutions to all size of firms. The consultant solicitor model presents an array of alternative workable solutions to existing business practices.
• The recent and ongoing skills shortage has been felt by all businesses and has damaged a lot of smaller firms who can no longer service their clients. Here is a real opportunity for ambitious lawyers to develop their own businesses in their own way whilst bringing agility and modern skills to the legal sector.
