Dedicated care for our lawyer network
At Setfords, our lawyers’ wellbeing is essential, and we want to ensure they can access any extra support they need to stay healthy and enjoy their work. As such, our dedicated Wellbeing Team is here to help ensure your happiness in your consultancy role.
Promoting and supporting wellbeing is at the heart of Setfords’ mission to achieve a better way of working. We believe that healthy and supportive workplaces help people flourish and reach their potential. This means creating an environment that actively promotes wellbeing, for the benefit of both consultants and the wider organisation.
We founded Setfords on the premise that happier lawyers mean happier clients.
Guy Setford, Co-CEO
Happy lawyers, happy clients
We encourage our consultants to fit their work around their life, not the other way around. Our model means that there are no set working hours or expectations to be in the office. Without billing targets, consultants can choose the amount of work that they take on, making it easy to find time for the things outside of work that make life so great!
Our model is here to provide lawyers with what they need to thrive, so that they can serve their clients better.
Events at Setfords
Our Wellbeing Team hosts a varied calendar of events throughout the year, aimed to help you meet other lawyers and support staff, expand your skills, and simply have fun! We believe that working as a consultant lawyer doesn’t mean you’ll feel isolated, and our events are here to help you connect.
The highlights of the calendar are always our summer and Christmas get-togethers, but we host a full range of both virtual and in-person events. From webinars to boost your business skills, to networking, parties, and even our monthly book club, there truly is something for everyone.
We’re here to provide our lawyers with resources to help them work in the way they
want to, so they can achieve a great work-life balance and a greater sense of wellbeing.
– Marissa Ayres, Director of Wellbeing
