What if you could earn more than a full-time General Counsel — without the internal politics, fixed salary ceiling, or executive treadmill?
We’re helping experienced in‑house lawyers in Birmingham explore the fractional General Counsel business model.
By starting this career path with us, you gain the best of both worlds:
The credibility and infrastructure of a network of likeminded lawyers — combined with the freedom to build your own high‑value portfolio practice on your own terms.
This is what we call self‑employment with a safety net — autonomy with structure, income with scalability.
What You’ll Receive
* 100% of revenue paid directly to you
* Flexible contract structure — choose your portfolio of clients
* Remote‑first with optional office access
* A proven process to scale from 1 retained client to 5+ over time
Business Development Support from The SELL Life
You receive:
* Personalised strategy to position yourself as a retained strategic advisor
* Frameworks for packaging fractional GC services into predictable monthly retainers
* Access to a curated referral network of lawyers
* Vendor discounts and member benefits that rival national firms
* Courses, templates, and playbooks for scaling a portfolio practice
* Live sessions designed to solve business development bottlenecks
Who is This Is For?
* Senior lawyers with in‑house experience who are already acting as a strategic business partner
* Want higher income potential than fixed executive salary
* Prefer influence over internal hierarchy
* Are commercially minded and confident advising founders or boards
* Value autonomy but don’t want to build everything from scratch
The Result
* Replace or exceed their corporate salary
* Work across diverse, growth‑focused businesses
* Build equity‑like upside through long‑term client relationships
* Create a practice that belongs entirely to them
This is not a traditional role.
It’s an opportunity to build something of your own — with the backing of an international network of entrepreneurial lawyers.
