Consultant Solicitor Job Description
Become a Consultant Lawyer at Cognitive Law
You didn’t become a lawyer to spend your days chasing billing targets, sitting in meetings, and missing out on life outside work. If you’ve ever thought there must be a better way to practise law—there is.
At Cognitive Law, we offer senior lawyers the opportunity to build a rewarding, flexible career on their own terms. As a consultant, you choose when, where and how you work—while still being part of a supportive, professional team that’s with you every step of the way.
At Cognitive Law we're different. We’ve combined our legal and commercial expertise to form a law firm that modernises the way law is practised, and created a firm for the future.
We re-balance our lawyers' working lives with the rest of their lives. We’ve removed all requirements to adhere to targets, attend internal meetings or even go to the office.
Our aim is to deliver exceptional service to our clients, be responsive to their legal needs, and offer appropriate fee structures.
Why become a Cognitive consultant?
- Work with a respected law firm that enables agile working practices
- Enjoy flexibility to work when, where and how you want.
- No commute, no targets, no partners’ meetings
- The ability to spend more time doing the things you want to do
- No compromise to your status or earning power
- The security of being part of a like-minded legal community
- Shared resources, knowledge, referrals and socialising
- The freedom of working for yourself, without being on your own
- The ability to fix your own charging structure to best serve your clients
