What Is the Fee Share at Setfords?

If you’re considering a move to consultancy, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much will I actually earn? It’s a fair question, and at Setfords, the answer is straightforward. 

How the Fee Share Works 

Our consultants earn between 50% and 80% of their billings through our sliding fee scale model. 

Here’s how it works in practice: clients pay the firm, and you receive your share of those fees. The more you bill, the higher the percentage you take home. It’s a dynamic structure designed to reward growth. 

There are no hidden costs to factor in either. All of Setfords’ industry-leading support is included within your fee split, at no extra cost. What you see is what you get. 

Why This Model Works for Consultants 

Traditional law firm structures often cap what you can earn, regardless of how much you bring in. The consultancy model flips that. Your billings directly drive your income, and our fee share scale means your earning potential grows alongside your practice. 

Whether you’re just starting out in consultancy or you’re an established solicitor looking to maximise what you take home, the sliding scale is built to move with you. 

See What You Could Earn 

We know that numbers on a page only go so far. That’s why we’ve built an easy-to-use earnings calculator so you can see exactly what your earnings could look like at different billing levels.
