Job Description

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



To be considered for an interview, please make sure your application is full in line with the job specs as found below.


We are helping experienced in-house lawyers in Southampton 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. xwwtmva
