The UK's highest-rated law firm on Trustpilot is hiring. Perfect 5.0. 8,000+ reviews. And we intend to keep it that way.

We're growing our consultant solicitor team. If you take pride in doing brilliant work, this is for you.
The Role
Self-employed consultancy. Independent legal advice on settlement agreements under Section 203 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. A consistent flow of client referrals through our established platform — no business development, no billing headaches, no overhead.
You advise. We handle everything else.
What You'll Do

* Conduct telephone and video consultations with genuine warmth and expertise
* Proactively respond to client communications, anticipating needs and keeping clients fully supported throughout
* Sign adviser's certificates under s.203 ERA 1996 and handle reaffirmation certificates
* Negotiate amendments and provide Enhanced Negotiation Services where appropriate

Company laptop, SAS email and direct dial, CRM and case management, VOIP, Google Meet, full Professional Indemnity Insurance, admin and billing support, and comprehensive onboarding. Backed by an SRA-regulated practice (No. 801426) with accessible leadership.
Competitive rates paid monthly, structured to reward quality and volume of work.
Working Arrangements
Fully remote. Self-employed. Monday–Friday, 9am–5:30pm, with schedule flexibility via shared calendar.
What We're Looking For
You hold a current Practising Certificate, are SRA-regulated, and bring:
* Employment law depth — confident across unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, TUPE, whistleblowing, and settlement agreement clause mechanics
* Emotional intelligence — you listen first, manage client distress with genuine care, and deliver difficult advice warmly and in plain English
* Pragmatic judgment — proportionate, commercially aware, knowing when to negotiate and when to accept
* Resilience at volume — you manage a fast-paced caseload, sustaining genuine warmth and care for every client, every time
* Digital fluency — confident with tech-enabled workflows; our systems are central to delivering Gold Standard service at pace
* Coachability — receptive to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
Why SAS?
We're genuinely different. Specialist. Tech-enabled. Utterly client-focused. Our consultants are the reason clients leave five-star reviews, and we recognise that every interaction has the power to transform someone's experience at the hardest moment of their working life.
If you believe in brilliant work delivered with empathy, urgency, and genuine care — we'd love to hear from you.
