What is a consultant lawyer?

A consultant lawyer is a forward-looking lawyer with an entrepreneurial spirit values autonomy, work-life balance, and controls their own earnings.

How is practising as a consultant lawyer different from being a traditional lawyer?

Under the traditional model, lawyers are assigned clients, and are expected to maximise and track all of their billable time, even if it means cutting into personal or family time. Traditional lawyers are also expected to be in the office regularly, sometimes every day. Under the fee-share model, consultant lawyers choose their clients, set their own fees, and work how, where, and when they want.

How will I build my client portfolio as a consultant lawyer?

Consultant lawyers build their client portfolios in a variety of ways. They leverage their existing professional and personal networks, they market themselves online and at events, take referrals from other consultant lawyers, and respond to inbound inquiries to their law firm.
