Can I Work Abroad as a Consultant Solicitor?

The answer is a yes! The legal world has changed dramatically over the past decade. Gone are the days when your career had to be tied to a single desk, office, or postcode. With advances in technology, security, and connectivity, our consultant solicitors and lawyers can now work confidently from almost anywhere in the world, all while remaining part of one of the UK’s largest and most respected consultancy communities.

Many legal professionals today lead international careers, travelling frequently or building connections across borders. At Taylor Rose, we embrace that global spirit. Our consultants have the freedom to travel, live abroad, or work on a hybrid basis in the UK, while still having access to our regional offices whenever it suits them. This flexibility can be especially valuable for solicitors or lawyers with international clients who still want a strong UK base.
If you’re a solicitor, conveyancer or lawyer looking for a more flexible, empowering way to practise, one that allows you to be in control of your time, workload, and professional growth, then legal consultancy could be your next step.

Our pioneering consultant programme is designed to give legal professionals like you the freedom to shape your career on your terms, with all the support and stability of a well-established law firm behind you. By joining us, you’ll enjoy true autonomy while having access to a wealth of resources, expertise, and guidance whenever you need it.

Whether you’re working in the UK or abroad, our commitment to support never wavers. We provide strong back-office services so that you can focus on your clients, including marketing, legal head support, and compliance, all while our IT team provides connectivity wherever you are. Our Consultant Concierge team is always on hand to help with setup, training, and ongoing professional development throughout your consultancy journey.
The ability to work from anywhere gives our consultant solicitors and lawyers both professional and personal freedom. Working abroad can bring renewed energy and creativity to your practice, as well as awareness, adaptability, and independence. These qualities often strengthen client relationships and expand professional networks, helping you stand out in an increasingly global legal market.

At Taylor Rose, we celebrate entrepreneurial spirit. Our consultants operate as independent professionals, setting their own hours, rates, and working styles. You decide when, where, and how you work, allowing you to build a schedule that fits your lifestyle, whether that’s from an office, in Paris, or on a beach in Portugal.

Financially, legal consultancy offers a clear path to greater earning potential. Our model allows our consultant solicitors and lawyers to retain up to 75% of their billings, removing the limits of a traditional salary structure and rewarding your dedication and hard work.
