Freelance Solicitors
The “less regulated’ freelance solicitor model can be attractive, but it is not right for every set-up. Questions often arise around reserved work, client money, supervision, insurance and the boundary between freelance practice and a regulated firm.
We help solicitors assess whether the model fits their plans and, where it does, how to approach it with clarity and confidence.
How we help
- Advising whether the freelance model is suitable
- Providing guidance on the “unregulated” law firm model
- Identifying scope and regulatory limitations
- Helping with set-up and compliance position
- Reviewing client-facing and operational arrangements
- Dealing with linked regulatory questions
