Overview

Build your own practice with the backing of a modern consultancy model. Full autonomy over clients, fees, and hours, with 75%+ of billings kept. Work when, where, and how you want with no egos, no targets, no politics.

We’re looking for a Private Client Solicitor to join a consultancy firm with a different way of working. Here, you’ll have the freedom to take charge of your own practice while benefiting from the support of a like-minded community of senior lawyers. This is a fantastic opportunity if you’re looking to escape rigid billing targets, politics, or unnecessary processes, and instead build a rewarding practice on your own terms.

Who we’re looking for

• Solicitor or Legal Executive with solid experience in wills, trusts, probate, and estate administration
• Able to run matters fully autonomously
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to win work or grow a client following
• Collaborative approach — willing to share ideas and refer/receive work
• STEP qualified or working towards

What you’ll be doing

• Running your own caseload of private client work — from simple wills and LPAs to complex estate planning
• Setting your own fees and charging structure
• Building and developing your client base with full freedom to market yourself
• Collaborating with fellow consultants where cases require additional expertise
• Making use of support services (compliance, AML, file opening, onboarding) as and when you need them

Salary & Benefits

• Fee share: Keep 75% of what you bill (rising up to 90% at higher billing levels)
• Referrals: Earn 15% for work referred on to other departments
• Hours: Complete autonomy — no targets, bill as much or as little as you want
• Flexibility: Work fully remotely, or use the Leeds office hub with free parking and client meeting space
• Holiday: Set your own schedule — you decide when and how much time to take off
• Progression: Build your own mini-practice within the wider firm if you wish
• Equity options: Growth shares and preference shares available, giving you the chance to have a real stake in the firm
