What is consultancy?
A different path to the same goal
New routes for a successful legal career have emerged well beyond the traditional 9-5 or setting up on your own as a sole practitioner.
Flexibility and Freedom: Forging Your Own Path
That’s precisely what legal consultancy offers, freedom and flexibility. Legal consultants can choose their clients, set their working hours, choose their work and their rates, and take on matters that want to work on. It’s like being a sole practitioner running your own practice but with an established back office behind you and no initial outlay of operational costs, its all taken care of.
Unlock Your Earning Potential
Legal consultancy can be financially rewarding. While it may take time to build your client following, successful consultants can dictate their rates and receive a higher percentage of fees compared to the traditional salary bands set on billable hours.
Lower Overheads
One of the main benefits of legal consultancy is the reduced overheads as opposed to running your own legal practice. Consultants don’t have to worry about large expenses like renting office space, indemnity insurance, maintaining a support staff, or investing in IT. This means you keep more of your earnings.
Work-Life Harmony: Finding the Balance
The demanding nature of traditional law firms can lead to burnout for many legal professional. Legal consultants, on the other hand, have greater control over their work-life balance. They can finally attend pick up their children from schools, take a long weekend or holidays at short notice, or spend more quality time with family and friends without the employment constraints or requiring permission to do so.
