No, you do not need to set up a limited company to become a consultant solicitor at Setfords, but you can if you’d like to.
How It Works
Consultants at Setfords operate under the Setfords SRA entity. This means you don’t need your own legal structure in place before you join. The compliance and regulatory framework is already there for you.
That said, some consultants do choose to join under their own limited company. Both options are available, and the right choice will depend on your individual circumstances.
Which Option Is Right for You?
This is an important decision and one that Setfords is unable to advise on. We’d strongly recommend speaking with a qualified accountant or financial adviser before making your choice. They’ll be able to assess your situation and help you understand the tax and financial implications of each option.
