One of the most liberating aspects of becoming a consultant solicitor or lawyer is the freedom to choose how you live and work. For many legal professionals, it’s not just about income; it’s about time, balance and reclaiming control over your life. At Taylor Rose, we fully understand the desire for independence, which is why our consultant programme is built around flexibility.
You can work from home, from a co-working space, or from abroad, wherever you feel most productive and at ease, all while benefiting from the backing of a respected Top 60 UK law firm with over a century of credibility behind it. Working from home as a consultant solicitor or lawyer gives you the perfect blend of professional status and personal freedom, all while being backed by a nationally recognised law firm.
You choose your clients. You set your hours. You structure your day in a way that genuinely works for you. Without the daily commute, you save time, money and energy you can reinvest into your work, your health or your family. Financially, legal consultancy can be incredibly rewarding. Our fee share model starts at 70/30 in your favour and rises to 75/25 once you reach £250,000, meaning the harder you build, the more you keep.
Many of our consultant solicitors and lawyers previously earned fixed salaries in traditional firms, only to discover that legal consultancy gives them not only more income but also more joy in their work. Some worry that working from home means working alone, but that’s not the case at Taylor Rose. You’ll become part of a vibrant community of solicitors, lawyers, chartered legal executives, licensed conveyancers, and seasoned legal professionals who collaborate, share knowledge, and support one another.
You also receive full access to our operational support teams, systems and consultant concierge, so while you’re self-employed, you’re never unsupported. Yes, legal consultancy does require you to build your own caseload, but with determination and the right backing, it becomes second nature. And the rewards easily outweigh the learning curve.
Because the real joy of legal consultancy isn’t just in the work; it’s in the life it gives you back. Need to do the school run at 3pm? That’s perfectly fine. Prefer to ease into your day slowly or power through in the quiet of the evening? You’re in control. Fancy taking Fridays off or swapping your desk for a cosy holiday cottage for the week? Why not? Working from home as a consultant solicitor or lawyer isn’t just a practical setup; it’s a way of working that respects your rhythm, your responsibilities and who you are beyond the job.
If you’ve been feeling that pull for something more, more freedom, and more balance, consultancy could be the path that finally lets your career fit the life you want. And if you’re curious to explore the idea further, we’d love to talk. Just call our consultant recruitment team on 020 3551 8100, and we’ll help you work out whether this could be the right move for you.
