Hear from Senior Consultant CILEX Lawyer Louise Turner as she discusses how her transition into consultancy with Setfords has allowed her to balance success in work and at home. Not only does Louise now have more time than ever for her children, but she has also been able to build her own business, a career path she never imagined could be possible.
Louise’s Journey to Setfords
Louise specialises in all aspects of criminal defence work as well as education law. While she had an accomplished career in traditional law prior to working with Setfords, her personal priorities prompted her to reassess her path. Reflecting on her decision, she shares, “I wasn’t unhappy there; it’s just that my life changed.”
So, she started looking for a firm that offered flexibility to focus her time on what’s most important to her. That’s where Setfords came in for Louise, providing a unique opportunity for her to thrive both personally and professionally.
Achieving Work-Life Balance
While many companies talk about achieving a good work-life balance, at Setfords we make this truly possible. Our lawyers have no billing targets or set working hours, so they can do whatever works best for them, their clients, and their families. So, what does work-life balance mean for Louise?
“I needed to find a place where I could be my own boss, deal with my own diary, and fit things around my life and my children’s lives.”
With the ability to set her own schedule with Setfords, Louise can be present for the moments that matter most, whether it’s attending school plays and sports days, volunteering, or simply spending quality time with her children. As she summarises, “It seems like I have lots of spare time, but I also do lots of work with Setfords.” It really is the best of both worlds for our lawyers.

“Coming to Setfords has really expanded my horizons, I thought I was a one-woman band and now I’m creating what’s almost like my own little firm within this massive firm.”
