I help solicitors become self-employed and build a client base.

Are you ready to break free from the traditional law firm structure and take control of your career?

At Taylor Rose Australia, we offer ambitious and experienced lawyers the opportunity to build their own practice with the backing of a national firm, providing you with the flexibility, autonomy, and support you need to succeed.

About the Role:

As a Consultant Solicitor, you will have the freedom to manage your own client relationships, set your fees, and work the hours that suit your lifestyle.

Whether you're an established lawyer looking for greater control over your work-life balance, a part-time solicitor transitioning into consulting, or a lawyer seeking to build a niche practice and client base from scratch, this role is designed to help you grow on your terms.

Our model is built to support you at every stage, offering full administrative, marketing, and business development support.

With Taylor Rose Australia, you’re never alone – we provide access to a national network of consultants, cross-referrals, 3rd party referrals, and the infrastructure needed to scale your practice without the headaches of running a firm.

Why Join Taylor Rose?

1. Autonomy and Flexibility: Take control of your work-life balance. Choose when, where, and how much you work.
2. Keep More of What You Earn: Our transparent fee-sharing model means you keep up to 70-80% of your billings.
3. Administrative and Operational Support: Focus on legal work without the burden of administration.
4. Business Development and Marketing Assistance: We provide personalized business development coaching, LinkedIn optimization, and content marketing support.
5. Build a Niche Practice: Specialize in the areas of law you’re passionate about.
6. Flexible Location: Work remotely from anywhere in Australia, with access to serviced office spaces across major cities.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: At least 4 years post-admission legal experience (required).
• Expertise: Specialization in an area of law that lights you up as a lawyer.
• Autonomy: Ability to manage your own client relationships and handle matters independently.
• Business Development: While we provide substantial BD support, you will need to get comfortable with networking and have the drive to grow your client base.
• Qualifications: Must hold a current Australian practicing certificate with no supervision conditions.
• Mindset: Entrepreneurial, client-focused, and driven to succeed in a flexible work environment.

Who This Role Is Perfect For:

• Established Employed Lawyers looking for autonomy and control over their career
• Sole practitioners stressed out and overwhelmed by the burdens of running a practice.
• Lawyers Transitioning from In-House Roles or Part-Time Solicitors ready to build their own client base
• Specialists who want to focus on niche areas of law and build a boutique practice without the hassle of traditional firm structures.

About Taylor Rose Australia:

We back solicitors willing to back themselves.

With the support of a fast-growing national network, we’re here to help our consultants grow their practices with the infrastructure and resources of a BIG LAW firm – while giving them the freedom and flexibility of their own practice.
