Central services and tailored assistance
The support you need from award-winning specialists, all included in your fee split
The support structure at Setfords doesn’t just meet our consultant solicitors’ basic needs; it goes way beyond their expectations. Over many years, we have built what we believe to be the biggest and best support team in the industry. And, because we understand that one size doesn’t fit all, we can tailor our efforts to suit each lawyer.
At some comparable firms, consultants are charged for support such as file opening, secretarial support, and even hot-desking. But at Setfords, everything you need to build your business is included from day one, with no extra charges. So, you can focus on your work, safe in the knowledge that our team of experts will look after everything else with no extra cost to you (or your clients).
