The alternative platform law firms that are changing the way lawyers work
1 in 3 lawyers could be working as legal consultants by 2026
A growing number of lawyers are leaving traditional law firms in favour of self-employment under a revenue-share model.
In fact, it鈥檚 predicted that a third of all lawyers in the UK could be working for one by 2026.
What鈥檚 causing top lawyers to trade in their cushy law firm partner salaries to work as legal consultants?
- Commission, firstly. Platform law firms such as Keystone Law, gunnercooke and Taylor Rose pay lawyers approximately three quarters of their billings 鈥� which can equate to millions for some!
- Secondly, work life balance. Legal consultants can choose when they work, how they work and where they work. It鈥檚 completely up to them.
- Thirdly, client relationships. Instead of leading teams, the entrepreneurs in amongst the bunch want to work directly with clients and drive business.
