Yes. Setfords consultants are welcome to work part time or flexibly, including reduced hours or semi-retirement.
No Billing Targets
One of the key features of the Setfords model is that there are no billing targets. You’re not under pressure to hit a certain number each month. This means you can structure your working life in a way that suits you, whether that’s a reduced week, seasonal working or a gradual wind-down towards semi-retirement.
A Model Built Around Flexibility
Part time working is just one example of the flexibility consultancy at Setfords offers. As covered in our guide to whether consultancy is an exclusive arrangement, you’re also free to undertake most other work alongside your Setfords practice. And if you’d like to work from overseas, take a look at our guide to working overseas as a consultant solicitor.
For many solicitors, consultancy at Setfords represents a genuinely different way of practising law. One that works around your life, rather than the other way around.
