What if there was a better way to practice law? An ever increasing number of lawyers are finding that the fee-earning lifestyle isn't for them, and are embracing alternative models of employment.

- A significantly better life / work balance.
- A dedicated lawyers support team, who are here to find new clients for you and ensure placements go smoothly.
- Choose exactly how you want to be paid - under our PAYE or through your own limited company.
- Exciting projects with interesting clients.
- We look after the financials for you, meaning there is no need to chase clients for payment.
- Only accept the projects that are right for you, with no minimum commitment required.
