We pioneered the platform law firm—and we’re still leading the charge.
We’ve led the platform law revolution for nearly 20 years, setting the standard for
tech-enabled legal work in the UK. We have created a new kind of law firm, where great lawyers relish the day ahead – and produce consistently brilliant work.
We think the old law firm model is dying. Long days and longer nights, endless deadlines and mounting stress. And the tantalising promise of future reward… one day. There are many lawyers who are sticking with the traditional model, believing that their turn will surely come.
But the truth is that for too long, law firms have failed to evolve. They convince themselves that a centuries-old profession should cling to archaic ways of thinking and operating. As a result, their lawyers spend too much time on office politics, internal competition, and remembering to toe the line. We believe it’s time to change the record. It’s time to take control of your own future. There is a better way.
Law. For people, by people.
Putting lawyers first
We believe lawyers do their best work when they have the support they need and the rewards they deserve. This is why every decision we have made in the past (almost) 20 years has been about putting our lawyers first, so that they can put their clients first.
Empowering you to achieve, your way
The firm we’ve created isn’t just about entrepreneurial thinking, or using technology to our advantage, or even finding ways of working that give our lawyers the flexibility to deliver the dedicated service their clients need. It’s also about an attitude – a belief that the greatest success comes from empowering those you work with to enable them to achieve their very best.
At Setfords, we will empower you to fulfil your dreams. So whether it’s earning more money, achieving a greater work-life balance, or something else, we will work day and night to ensure you get the support you need to reach your full potential.
