High earnings potential, full flexibility
Yolk Recruitment is supporting a boutique firm that operates a hybrid employed/consultant model. If you are an experienced lawyer with a loyal client following, this opportunity may be worth exploring.
The firm, based in central Bristol, has run a consultancy model since 2008 and is looking for consultants in key practice areas: Private Client, Family, Property (Residential & Commercial). Lawyers from other civil areas with a strong following are also welcome.
Opportunity
You will join as a self‑employed consultant, working under the firm’s brand, systems and insurance but with full autonomy over how, when and where you work.
What you will be doing
* Running and growing your own caseload by utilizing your existing client following.
* Acting as a primary contact for your clients, delivering high‑quality personal service.
* Working independently on day‑to‑day matters, with support available from senior colleagues when needed.
* Utilizing the firm’s in‑house systems, compliance framework and back‑office support.
* Building relationships with other consultants and the employed team to encourage internal referrals and cross‑selling.
* Maintaining high standards of file management, risk management and regulatory compliance.
What you will get in return
You will be a Consultant Solicitor on a highly competitive fee share with uncapped earnings potential. Depending on the strength of your following, realistic earnings can reach six figures, with existing Consultant Solicitors already taking home five‑figure monthly sums.
Fee structure & support
* 60/40 fee split in your favour on work generated from your own clients.
* 40/60 split on matters generated by the firm.
* 10% referral fee on net billings for cross‑selling into other departments.
* No additional “central admin” or artificial disbursement uplifts added to your invoices.
* Professional indemnity insurance covered by the firm.
* The firm fronts the practising certificate renewal; you reimburse the cost.
* IT systems and support provided; you simply bring your own laptop and phone.
* Office space in Bristol with parking available, plus on‑site support when you want it.
* Holiday cover can be arranged through the team, so your clients are looked after while you’re away.
The experience you will bring to the team
* Solicitor or Legal Executive with a minimum of 3 years’ PQE.
* Current or recent experience in Private Client (wills, probate, LPAs, estates, trusts), Family, Contentious Probate, Property (residential or commercial), or other civil practice areas.
* A demonstrable, portable client following, ideally worth £80k+ in fees per year.
* Based within sensible reach of Bristol.
* Looking for a more flexible, adult approach to work without losing the support, infrastructure and collegiate feel of being part of a firm.
