What if you could earn more than a partner — without the politics, pressure, or practice overheads? We’re helping family law solicitors in Birmingham explore a self-employment opportunity with a unique twist. This isn’t just “go out on your own and figure it out.” We’re working with a specialist network that provides access to pre-qualified clients in the healthcare sector — alongside the infrastructure, support, and systems you need to build a sustainable, independent practice. By applying, you get the best of both worlds:
- A pathway into self-employment with support
- Access to existing client demand (for the right practice areas)
- A proven system to build your own client base over time
Practice Area Focus
Family Law
This opportunity is particularly suited to lawyers whose work is relevant to medical professionals, including:
- Doctors
- Medical practices
- Healthcare businesses
If your expertise aligns with this client base, there is a strong opportunity to step into immediate, serviceable work while continuing to grow your own practice at the same time.
Who This Is For
We are prioritising lawyers who fall into one of two categories:
- You have a practice area that can be sold to or used by healthcare professionals, OR
- You have an existing client following and want better economics, flexibility, and support
The ideal candidate will have both.
What You’ll Receive
- 60–80% of billables paid directly to you each month
- Access to existing client demand (where aligned)
- Freedom to choose your hours, clients, and location
- Fully remote model with optional office access
- Full administrative and compliance support
- Professional indemnity insurance included
- Business Development Support (The SELL Life)
- Personalised client acquisition strategy and coaching
- Referral network of high-quality, self-employed lawyers
- Member benefits program that rivals national firms
- Courses, templates, and playbooks to accelerate growth
- Regular webinars and live sessions
- Ongoing support to solve business challenges and increase revenue
The Result
Most solicitors who embrace this model:
- Increase their income significantly, or
- Replace their salary working fewer hours
All while building a practice that belongs entirely to them.
Requirements
- 4+ years PQE as a solicitor in England or Wales jurisdiction
- Strong technical ability in family law
- Commercial mindset and ability to create and manage client relationships
- Interest in flexible or self-employed working
Important
Due to the nature of this opportunity, we are prioritising candidates who:
