If you’re researching consultancy roles, you’ve likely come across both Setfords and Taylor Rose. Both are platform law firms offering consultancy models, so it’s a fair question to ask what actually sets them apart.
Fee Share Structure
One of the first things any solicitor considering consultancy will look at is earning potential. At Setfords, you can earn between 50% and 80% of what you bill through our sliding fee scale. For a full breakdown of how this works, take a look at our guide to the Setfords fee share.
Support and Costs
The level of support available to you and what it costs are important factors to weigh up. At Setfords, our comprehensive back office support is all included within your fee split, at no extra cost. From business development and marketing to compliance, accounts and beyond, it’s all taken care of. You can read more about what’s included in our guide to back office support.
Leads Generated for Consultants
Not all firms invest equally in generating work for their consultants. At Setfords, our in-house business development team generates 25% of the firm’s business, equating to £18 million worth of business each year. That’s a significant source of support, particularly when you’re starting out.
Culture and Wellbeing
This is where Setfords stands above. We have the industry’s first Lawyer Wellbeing Team, who organise regular check-ins and in-person and virtual events to help keep consultants connected. It’s a commitment to making sure consultants feel supported, valued and part of a wider community.
