If you’re a solicitor based in York and looking for more freedom, better work-life balance, and greater control over your earnings, it may be time to rethink how you practise. At Taylor Rose, we offer an alternative to the traditional law firm route—one that gives you the flexibility to work the way you want, with the support of a nationally respected legal brand behind you.
A Legal Career on Your Terms
Typical law firm roles often come with fixed hours, limited flexibility, and little say in the clients you serve. Our consultant solicitor programme flips that model on its head, giving you the ability to:
-
Work from wherever suits you best—whether that’s your home, a shared space in York, or while visiting clients.
-
Choose which clients and cases you take on—giving you full control over your specialism and schedule.
-
Set your own income goals—with the potential to keep up to 75% of your billings, based on the work you generate.
This is a career model built around your goals, not someone else’s targets.
Freedom Without the Risk
We know many solicitors are put off from making the leap to independent working because of concerns around regulation, admin tasks, or business development. That’s why we make sure you’re fully supported with:
-
End-to-end back-office support—from compliance and IT to admin and billing systems.
-
Marketing support to help you attract, retain, and grow your client base.
-
Guidance from our Consultant Liaison Team, offering structured onboarding and ongoing development to keep your consultancy career on track.
You stay in control—but never feel unsupported.
