We believe that lawyers do their best work when they're enabled to focus on delivering an outstanding client service without unrealistic targets and endless loads of admin. With everything, including scanning and filing, secretarial support, marketing, business development, tech support, compliance, accounts, and more included with no extra costs to you; we’ve got you covered.


Key Benefits

  • Uncapped earning potential, with the opportunity to keep up to 80% of what you bill

To join us, you must have a minimum of 5 years PQE in private practice and a clean practising certificate. Having a strong commercial outlook is also a key attribute for success in this role. If you are coming from an in-house background or General Counsel, you should have the ability to generate new business.


Setfords is the market-leading Platform Law firm, with over 500 successful consultant lawyers enjoying their freedom and success with us. The secret to Setfords’ incredible growth and continued success is investment – in our support structure, our staff, and our consultants, so you’re never left on your own.
