Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Yolk Recruitment Ltd Full time £120,000 - £600,000 per year

Consultant Solicitor (Self-Employed)

Bristol, South West, & South Wales

High earnings potential, full flexibility

Yolk Recruitment are supporting a recruitment campaign with a respected boutique firm offering an established consultancy model and genuine flexibility to experienced Lawyers across the South West and South Wales. If you're an experienced Lawyer with a loyal client following, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

If you are fed up with rigid structures and red tape, this opportunity is worth a conversation. This firm based in central Bristol has successfully run a consultancy model since 2008. They are now seeking to add experienced consultants across key practice areas, with a particular focus on:

  • Private Client
  • Family
  • Contentious Probate
  • Property (Residential and Commercial)

They are also very happy to speak with Lawyers in other civil practice areas where you have a strong following.

The opportunity

You will join as a self-employed consultant, working under the firm's brand, systems and insurance, but with full autonomy over how, when and where you work. The firm already operates a hybrid employed / consultant model.

This is what you will be doing

As a Consultant, your key responsibilities will include:-

  • Running and growing your own caseload of utilising your existing client following.
  • Acting as a primary contact for your clients, delivering a high quality, personal service.
  • Working independently on day to day matters, with support available from senior colleagues when needed.
  • Utilising the firm's in house systems, compliance framework and back-office support.
  • Building relationships with other consultants and the employed team to encourage internal referrals and cross selling.
  • Maintaining high standards of file management, risk management and regulatory compliance.

This is what you will get in return

You will be joining as a Consultant Solicitor on a highly competitive fee share, with uncapped earnings potential linked directly to the work you generate and service. Depending on the strength of your following, realistic earnings can reach six figures, with existing Consultant Solicitors already taking home five figure monthly sums.

Consultant fee structure & support

  • 60/40 fee split in your favour on work generated from your own clients.
  • 40/60 split where you are working on matters generated by the firm.
  • 10% referral fee on net billings for cross selling into other departments.
  • No additional "central admin" or artificial disbursement uplifts added to your invoices.
  • Professional indemnity insurance covered by the firm.
  • The firm fronts the practising certificate renewal, and you reimburse the cost.
  • IT systems and support provided; you simply bring your own laptop and phone.
  • Office space in Bristol with parking available, plus onsite support
    when you want it.
  • Holiday cover can be arranged through the team, so your clients are looked after whilst you're away.

The experience you will bring to the team

  • Solicitor or Legal Executive with minimum 3 years' PQE.
  • Current or recent experience in Private Client (wills, probate, LPAs, estates, trusts), Family, Contentious Probate, Property (residential or commercial), or other civil practice areas.
  • A demonstrable, portable client following, ideally worth £80k+ in fees per year.
  • Based within sensible reach of Bristol.
  • Looking for a more flexible, adult approach to work without losing the support, infrastructure and collegiate feel of being part of a firm
