With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the hybrid working as a lawyer emerged as a great, flexible new approach to working. By working certain days from home and certain days in the office, many sectors and industries have noticed an increase in productivity and morale in their workers. However, some workplaces have fully enforced working from the office again for all employees. If you work in law and aren’t satisfied with working from the office full-time, a hybrid option could be possible by becoming a consultant solicitor.
Consultant solicitor jobs are much more flexible than traditional law jobs. As a consultant lawyer, you are self-employed and therefore have more freedom in choosing when, where and how you work. Taylor Rose offers a range of working models for our consultant solicitors to meet a wide range of needs. You can work full time from the office with other like-minded solicitors, work from home if that suits you better, or choose a hybrid model work – whatever works best for you. We offer a 60/40 fee split in your favour for those working full time from one of our offices, or a 70/30 split if you choose to work from home, with up to 100 days of hot desking a year. Plus, we now have over 30 comfortable offices across England for our consultant solicitors to use, so that you can find a lawyer job near you and never have to relocate for your work.
In exchange for the fee split, whether you work from home or the office, you have access to a range of benefits, including Taylor Rose’s IT infrastructure. Our consultant solicitors receive HR support, a dedicated consultant liaison team, support with accounts and invoicing, and much more. We understand that moving from employed law work to self-employed work as a consultant can sometimes be daunting, but we provide extensive back-office support to ensure that our consultant lawyers can transition easily and do their best work. And with the ability to set your own working hours and caseloads, you can not only achieve a healthier work-life balance, but you can uncap your earning potential and take home a much larger percentage of pay than you might have earned as an employed solicitor within a law firm.
Hybrid working as a lawyer can give consultant solicitors the best of both worlds, with the support and structure of the office combined with the flexibility and freedom of working from home. If working as a traditional lawyer isn’t working out for you and you’re in need of a change, joining our community of confident and satisfied consultant solicitors could be the ideal choice for you. We provide lawyer jobs across the country to lawyers who want more say over their working lives. Whether you prefer home working, office working or a combination of the two, we can provide you with everything you need to get established as a self-employed consultant solicitor. Stop working excessively long hours in restrictive environments and start putting yourself in control of your hours and your earnings by becoming a consultant solicitor.
