A question we often hear is, “If I become self-employed, what legal career opportunities will I have?”
At Taylor Rose, legal consultancy doesn’t mean putting career progression on hold. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Alongside the freedom to build your own client base, develop your team, and increase your earnings, you’ll also have access to the same partnership and promotion opportunities as employed solicitors or lawyers within the firm. Many of our current Partners and Legal Heads are consultant solicitors, lawyers and conveyancers who have grown their careers while enjoying the flexibility of consultancy.
We know that career progression matters. It’s not just about moving up the ladder; it’s about gaining new skills, feeling fulfilled, and having something meaningful to work towards. As a legal professional, having a clear pathway for growth gives you motivation, satisfaction, and the chance to shape your legal career in a way that works for you. With the freedom to work in a hybrid way, you can build your career around your life, not the other way around. This flexibility means you can create a path that truly suits you while still having access to exciting new opportunities within the firm.
With over 100 years of experience behind us, we’ve built a programme designed to give consultant solicitors and lawyers the tools, resources, and support they need to truly thrive. Our consultancy model is all about balance, giving you the freedom to work in the way that suits you best, while knowing you have the backing of a well-resourced Top 60 law firm and the strength of the UK’s largest consultant community.
We completely understand that one of the biggest questions when thinking about legal consultancy is how to build and grow your client base. It’s a very natural consideration. At Taylor Rose, you won’t be left to figure it out on your own; we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our dedicated support teams work with you to help strengthen your client relationships and give you the tools you need to continue providing an excellent service to the people who rely on you.
Whether you’re just starting your legal consultancy journey or are already established, you’ll have access to the resources, teams, and systems you need to grow. From onboarding to marketing, supervision to consultant concierge support, we’re here to help you succeed and feel confident every step of the way.
If legal consultancy is a new idea for you, or you’re simply curious to learn more, we’d be delighted to guide you through it. Whether you already have a client base or are looking to grow one, our team is here to support you and help you craft a legal career that works for you.
And importantly, legal consultancy at Taylor Rose doesn’t mean stepping away from leadership opportunities. If you are a Consultant Solicitor or Consultant Lawyer, you’ll still be able to apply for partnership and progression roles within the business, with full access to the same culture and career pathways as employed solicitors. Our consultant community is very much part of the firm, and we will continue to support you with a great work-life balance.
If you’re curious and want to know more about how we can support your growth, our Consultant Recruitment team is here to help. They’ll walk you through the opportunities available and explore whether consultancy is the right fit for you.
