If you’re a Corporate Lawyer looking for a better way of working, opportunities are here for you!
It should go without saying that lawyers can do their best work when they are adequately supported, rewarded fairly, and have a healthy work-life balance. However, at traditional law firms, this is often not the case. So, if you’re looking for more freedom, we are here for you.
With our corporate lawyer jobs, you can experience the flexibility that consultancy brings. Avoid the distraction of office politics, management responsibility and billing targets. Forget commuting and presenteeism culture. As a consultant at Setfords, you can work where you want and when you want, knowing our expert team is handling the support you need to deliver for your clients.

Frequently asked questions
We have recently invested in a new system to make the delivery of leads to our consultants even smoother, giving them greater flexibility and control over the process.
Yes, as a consultant you do not have to work exclusively with us. The majority of our consultant lawyers don’t choose to take on multiple roles, but we understand that you may wish to and do not restrict your ability to do so.
Setfords consultants are also free to set up their own office locations, and we have a number of these locations across the country.
Absolutely! One of the biggest perks of being a consultant solicitor is the fact that you can set your own schedule. Whether you want to make the most of your early mornings, take meetings on weekends to fit your client’s schedule, or stick to the traditional 9-5, as a consultant solicitor it’s totally up to you.
Most of our consultants choose to work primarily from home, but it all depends on what’s best for you and your clients. Whatever you choose, you won’t have to relocate, and we welcome consultants who are based all over England, Wales, and beyond.
It’s highly likely that one of the other 600+ solicitors will be able to cover you during this time. We encourage networking with your fellow consultant solicitors, and the staff at Head Office can help you find people to cover you too. Failing that, you can bring in locum cover, but this is almost never necessary!
