We understand that your career journey is as individual as you are. Every solicitor, lawyer, or fee earner brings their own story, experience, and ambitions to the table. That’s why we’ve created a variety of consultancy routes designed to support different professional journeys, each offering flexibility, independence, and the reassurance of working within a trusted law firm.
For those who are ready to explore legal consultancy but would like the comfort of continued guidance and support, our Direct Consultant Programme provides the perfect balance between independence and structure. It’s an ideal option for experienced fee earners who want greater freedom while still having a safety net as they make the transition.
At Taylor Rose, we value experience over titles. Whether you’re fully qualified, partly qualified, or an unqualified but experienced fee-earner, we believe your skills and commitment have real value. If you have at least three years of experience managing your own caseload and nurturing client relationships, the direct route could be the ideal next step in your legal career.
We know that stepping into consultancy can feel like a big change, and that’s completely natural. The Direct Consultant Programme allows you to build confidence and independence at your own pace. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely, from home, or in one of our regional offices, choosing the working style that suits you best.
Through this route, you’ll take home 50% of your billings and gain access to the same benefits, systems, and support as our wider consultant community. You’ll also be connected with an experienced supervising consultant who will guide you day-to-day, reviewing your files at key stages and helping you grow your expertise and confidence.
This partnership creates a collaborative environment where you can learn, share ideas, and develop your career without the pressure of going it alone. It’s the ideal setup for lawyers who value independence but still appreciate teamwork and mentorship.
As you develop and gain confidence, there’s plenty of room to grow. You’ll have the opportunity to progress within the firm, increasing your billing percentage as you take on greater responsibility. You can even choose to build your own team of fee-earners beneath you, billing collectively and earning a percentage from your team’s work.
Our Consultant Recruitment Department will support you every step of the way, helping you expand your team and grow your client base within our thriving consultant community. Whether your ambition is to work independently, manage a small group, or lead a growing practice, Taylor Rose provides the structure and support to help you achieve it.
No matter which consultancy path you choose, we’ll provide the same strong foundation of operational and back-office support. Our Consultant Concierge Team is always available to assist with compliance, marketing, IT, and training. You’ll never feel isolated; we’re here to make sure you can focus on what matters most: your clients and your career development.
At Taylor Rose, we want to empower legal professionals to design a career that works for them. With flexibility, autonomy, and genuine support, our consultancy model allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.
If you’re ready to take control of your career, enjoy greater freedom, and redefine what success looks like for you, the Direct Consultant Programme could be the perfect fit.
