What do we mean by purpose-led?

Flex Legal was founded on a simple belief: the legal industry can do better. Better for the people working in it. Better for those trying to get in. Better for the teams relying on it to keep business moving.

We’ve built our model to reflect that.

From how we source and support talent, to how we partner with clients - our goal is to open up the legal profession and make legal careers more accessible, flexible, and future-ready.

When you work with us, you're not just solving a resourcing challenge. You're helping to create opportunity and drive long-term change.

£100 from every lawyer placement goes to fund Flex Trainee opportunities

Flex Trainee Testimonials

It feels amazing to have finally achieved my goal of qualifying. It feels surreal and I’m truly thankful to God! I’m super happy to have achieved such a milestone, it’s made my family proud, and I am excited to try and help others to do the same.

Flex Trainee Testimonials

I am now 6 months into my Qualifying Work Experience and Flex continuously provides support with monthly check-in meetings with supervisors, as well as organising events and training sessions for us all, and genuinely being there for any question big or small. I am looking forward to continuing the SQE alongside the help and support from such a great team.

Chloe, Flex Trainee

Flex Trainee Testimonials

This opportunity is making my dreams of qualifying come true and provided me two opportunities: to train in-house which is very rare for junior lawyers, and to build my legal and commercial network. I am so excited that such an opportunity is available to socially mobile students because at times it can feel like your chance will never come.

Maab, Flex Trainee

Flex Trainee Testimonials

The thought of going into such a big business and being their first ever trainee was a little daunting at first - but the Readiness Programme Flex delivered definitely helped me to hit the ground running. One of the things which stands out to me from the programme was elevator pitches, which we practised so much!

Saad, Flex Trainee

Flex Trainee Testimonials

Whilst most of the team was on annual leave during this summer, I had a moment of realisation of how far I had come in the few months of training in relation to my confidence to deal with matters from start to finish. I have definitely exceeded my own expectations.
