Principal Solicitor

What if you could earn more than a partner — without the politics, pressure, or practice overheads?

We’re helping several national & international firms welcome experienced lawyers into roles, offering 70-80% of billables paid directly to you, backed with full administrative, business development and legal support.

When you apply through us, you get the best of both worlds.

The infrastructure and credibility of an established recruitment agency to promote you, and a proven marketing, coaching, and referral system to help you build your own client base.

And if you decide you want to go it alone - we can help you get set up for yourself.

This is self-employment with a safety net — freedom with structure, profit with purpose.

What You’ll Receive:

70-90% of billables paid directly to you each month.

Choose your hours, clients, and practice location.

Full administrative, trust-accounting, and compliance support.

Professional indemnity insurance included.

Business development support from The Self-Employed Lawyers League (S.E.L.L.):

• Personalised client acquisition strategy and coaching
• National referral network of self-employed lawyers
• Members benefits program that rivals all the big national firms
• Courses, templates, and playbooks to help you scale faster
• Regular CPD Webinars to help you expand your knowledge
• Live sessions to solve business problems and grow your referral network

The Result:

Most lawyers double their income or replace their salary working half the hours — all while building a practice that belongs entirely to them.

You’ll enjoy all the autonomy of self-employment with the infrastructure of a top-tier firm — and the backing of a national network that wants you to succeed.
