Choosing a different path

Choosing the other road shouldn’t mean walking it alone.

Independence, with 200+ people behind you.

Consultancy fails for some lawyers because the freedom arrives, but the infrastructure doesn’t. They swap a firm for a spare room and discover they have become their own finance team.

At Setfords, a support team of more than 200 handles compliance, billing, IT, marketing and business development. You practise law, everything around it is covered.

What could you earn?

Take home up to 80% of what you bill. Business support is included in the fee split, so there is nothing billed back to you at the end of the month. The calculator gives you a realistic number at the touch of a button.

You stopped liking everything else. With Setfords, keep the part you love and leave the rest, with a support team of 200+ here to help you earn up to 80% of your billings. Learn why 650+ consultants have already taken this road.
