One of the biggest draws of the consultancy model is flexibility. For many solicitors considering the move, a key question is whether they can work from overseas. The short answer is yes.
Working Remotely With Setfords
Setfords allows consultant solicitors to work remotely from the UK and most overseas destinations.
There are some important requirements to keep in mind:
- You must remain qualified. Your qualification to practice in England and Wales and your standing with the SRA need to stay current, regardless of where you’re based.
- SRA regulations apply. Working abroad doesn’t change your professional obligations. You’ll need to comply with SRA regulations at all times.
- You must practice England and Wales law. Setfords operates within England and Wales, so your work remains governed by that legal framework.
- Data protection and confidentiality requirements must be met. Wherever you’re working from, client confidentiality and data security are non-negotiable.
