One of the first questions solicitors and lawyers ask when considering legal consultancy is, “How much can I actually earn?” It’s a fair question. After all, your career isn’t just about the work you do; it’s also about feeling valued and fairly rewarded for the hours and expertise you bring to your clients.
Traditional law firm salaries can be generous, but they often come with long hours, high pressure, and a sense that the more you give, the less you actually take home. Legal consultancy flips that model on its head.
At Taylor Rose, our consultants take home up to 70% of their billings from day one, with the opportunity to increase this to 75% once you reach a £250,000 billing milestone. We also have flexible group options where consultants without full post-qualified experience can still take home 60% of their billings. Whatever your circumstances, we’re committed to transparency and fairness, with no hidden scales or sliding fees.
So, what does this mean in practice? It means you can plan your income with confidence, knowing exactly what portion of your billing you’ll retain. It means you can decide whether to take on a lighter caseload, prioritising flexibility and balance, or increase your workload to boost your earnings. Most importantly, it means the choice is yours.
Unlike being salaried, legal consultancy gives you full control over your earning potential. As a self-employed solicitor or lawyer, you decide when you work, what cases you take on, and how many clients you want to manage. That means no more late nights trying to meet targets that don’t benefit you, and no more feeling underpaid for the hours you put in.
And while you’ll have the freedom of self-employment, you won’t be alone. At Taylor Rose, we provide the back-office support that allows you to focus on your clients: compliance, IT, marketing, and even a dedicated consultant concierge team. You’ll also have access to our offices across the country if you’d like a professional workspace alongside your home or hybrid setup.
When you combine higher earnings with flexible working, the result is powerful. Many of our consultant solicitors and lawyers tell us they not only earn more than before but also feel more fulfilled in their work. They enjoy the freedom to fit their legal careers around their lives, not the other way around, and rediscover their passion for law.
Our legal consultant community is the largest of its kind in the UK, built with one purpose in mind: to help shape a brighter, more flexible future for legal professionals. Legal consulting opens a career path that’s both rewarding and adaptable, offering a fresh, modern way to practise law.
We’re here for lawyers who truly love their work and who want the freedom to reach their full potential without sacrificing balance, lifestyle, or wellbeing. We take pride in celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of our consultants, who thrive as independent professionals while still enjoying the support, guidance, and resources of our highly respected law firm.
