If you’re a Legal Executive looking for a better way of working, we have opportunities for you!
As a legal executive, you can deliver your best work when you have the support you need and the rewards you deserve.

The Role
At Setfords, every role looks a little different, as you and your needs entirely shape it. Compared to a traditional firm, we offer better rewards and a superior work-life balance. You’ll never have to commit to a strict schedule, and you get to choose the clients you take on. That means complete freedom to do things your way and shape a career that works around your life, not the other way around.
Our legal executive jobs are primarily based remotely, but you will also have access to numerous Setfords offices and meeting spaces throughout the UK. This includes Setfords London, our impressive base on the capital’s prestigious Chancery Lane. With lots of room to meet and entertain clients, expand your network, and work on projects, it’s the ideal base for the London-based lawyer, close to the city’s top legal venues. If you’re not in the capital, we have twelve other offices in England and Wales, including our Head Office in Guildford, Surrey.

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!
