What is a Consultant Solicitor?

What is a consultant solicitor?

Rather than working in a traditional law firm, consultant solicitors work for themselves and are self-employed. They practice under the umbrella of a firm, like Setfords, and are covered by professional indemnity insurance. Consultants set their own hours and decide where they work and there are no targets or minimum hours that you have to work. There are many benefits of choosing to work as a consultant solicitor at Setfords which include:

  • Largest nationwide full service network of 450+ lawyers
  • 130-strong expert support team
  • A dedicated business development team to help win work
  • Set your own work-life balance
  • Unlimited earning potential
These and other benefits allow you to do your job to the best of your ability.
