Job description

What if you could earn more than a full-time General Counsel without the internal politics, fixed salary ceiling, or executive treadmill?


We are helping experienced in-house lawyers in London explore the fractional General Counsel business model.


This is for senior lawyers who already advise founders, boards, executives, or leadership teams and are starting to wonder whether their skill set could become a high-value retained advisory practice of their own.


Not a traditional employed role.

Not a blind leap into business.

A supported pathway into self-employment with structure, credibility, and business development support around you.


What You’ll Receive

  • 100% of revenue paid directly to you
  • Flexible contract structure
  • Remote-first model
  • Support to build a portfolio of retained clients
  • A proven process to go from 1 retained client to 3+ 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 monthly retainers
  • Support to identify and approach the right client market
  • Referral network of other self-employed lawyers
  • Vendor discounts and member benefits that rival large firms
  • Courses, templates, and playbooks for scaling a portfolio practice
  • Live sessions to solve business development bottlenecks


Who This Is For

Senior in-house lawyers who:

  • Are already operating as strategic business partners
  • Want more upside than a fixed executive salary
  • Prefer influence over internal hierarchy
  • Are confident advising founders, boards, executives, or business owners
  • Want autonomy but do not want to build everything from scratch


The Result

Experienced counsel who move into fractional work can:

  • Replace or exceed their corporate salary
  • Work across several growth-focused businesses
  • Build long-term retained client relationships
  • Create a practice that belongs entirely to them


This is not a traditional role where we take a big % for introducing a client to you.


It is an opportunity to explore whether your in-house legal experience could become your own high-value portfolio practice without any need for middlemen or secondment agencies.


Next Step

Apply confidentially.
