Job description

What if self-employment did not mean starting from scratch?


We are helping experienced solicitors in Sunderland explore self-employment with the infrastructure, support, and credibility needed to build a sustainable practice.


This is for solicitors who want more control over their work, income, clients, and future, but do not want to build everything alone.


You may already have clients.

You may have a following.

Or you may simply have strong technical skill, a clear practice area, and the ambition to build your own client base with the right support around you.


This Is Not a Traditional Role

It is a pathway into self-employment with a safety net.

You keep the upside of your own work while receiving the support needed to operate professionally, confidently, and sustainably.


What You’ll Receive

  • 70-100% of billables paid directly to you each month
  • Choose your own hours, clients, and practice location
  • Full administrative, trust-accounting, and compliance support
  • Professional indemnity insurance included
  • Support to promote yourself and build your own client base
  • Access to firms and platforms already built for self-employed lawyers


Business Development Support from The SELL Life

You receive:

  • Personalised client acquisition strategy and coaching
  • Referral network of other self-employed lawyers
  • Member benefits that rival large national firms
  • Courses, templates, and playbooks to help you grow faster
  • Regular CPD webinars to expand your knowledge
  • Live sessions to solve business development problems and grow your referral network


Who This Is For

3+ PQE Solicitors who:

  • Want more control over their legal career
  • Are interested in consultant or self-employed practice models
  • Have a clear practice area or client market
  • Want to keep more of what they bill
  • Want support with business development, referrals, and client acquisition
  • Do not want to stay limited by salary bands, firm politics, or rigid career structures


The Result

Most solicitors do not want to leave law.

They want to leave the parts of law that make the career feel smaller than it should.


This is an opportunity to explore whether your legal skill could become your own practice, with the infrastructure and support to make the move properly.


Next Step

Apply confidentially.
