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’re helping experienced in-house lawyers in London explore fractional General Counsel opportunities.

By starting this career path with us, you gain the best of both worlds:

The credibility and infrastructure of established firms and referral partners — combined with the freedom to build your own high-value portfolio practice on your own terms.

This is what we call self-employment with a safety net — autonomy with structure, income with scalability.

What You’ll Receive

  • 90-100% of revenue paid directly to you (one-off intro fees only)
  • Flexible contract structure — choose your portfolio of clients
  • Remote-first with optional office access
  • The ability to scale from 1 retained client to 5+ 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 predictable monthly retainers
  • Access to a curated referral network of commercial lawyers and founders
  • Vendor discounts and member benefits that rival national firms
  • Courses, templates, and playbooks for scaling a portfolio practice
  • Live sessions designed to solve business development bottlenecks

Who is This Is For?

Senior lawyers with in-house experience who:

  • Are already acting as a strategic business partner
  • Want higher income potential than fixed executive salary
  • Prefer influence over internal hierarchy
  • Are commercially minded and confident advising founders or boards
  • Value autonomy but don’t want to build everything from scratch

The Result

Most experienced counsel transitioning to fractional models:

  • Replace or exceed their corporate salary
  • Work across diverse, growth-focused businesses
  • Build equity-like upside through long-term client relationships
  • Create a practice that belongs entirely to them

This is not a traditional role.

It’s a platform to build something of your own — with the backing of an international network of entrepreneurial lawyers.
