Job description

We are working with a fast-growing, specialist employment and regulatory law firms, ranked in the Chambers Global Elite firms list. Built on agility, collaboration, and commercial fairness, this firm offers a rare opportunity to take control of your practice - without sacrificing support or quality.

This firm offers one of the most competitive commission structures in the UK legal market, with a transparent and rewarding link between effort and income:

  • Retain 75% of billings on work you originate and deliver
  • 60% on work you deliver but don’t originate

Full-service support – without the overhead

Unlike many “consultant” models, you’ll have access to a proper infrastructure:

  • Marketing, PR, and press support to build your profile
  • PSL and know-how resources
  • CRM, billing, compliance, and IT all handled for you
  • Pitch support and collaborative business development

This allows you to focus on what matters: clients, relationships, and high-quality legal work.

Why this opportunity?

  • Stability & growth – No partner has left in over 5 years, a testament to the firm’s culture and success
  • Truly agile working – 100% remote, giving you freedom to work on your terms while staying connected to a supportive, collegiate team
  • Collaborative culture – No silos, no politics, no management pressures – just a genuine partnership of lawyers working together
  • Progressive model – A chance to be part of a forward-thinking firm that values innovation, autonomy, and work-life balance

Apply in the strictest of confidence online and or via telephone. There is no need for a CV for an initial conversation.
