A different next step
More ownership of your working life.
You may be ready to move from employment into consultancy, return to practice, or find a new home for an established specialism. We welcome conversations with experienced solicitors and other appropriately qualified fee earners who share our focus on sound advice and client care.
Moving into consultancy
Work through the practical questions: workload, support, income, costs and the transition from your current role.
Returning to practice
Discuss your current skills, practising status and the support or development you would need before taking on work.
The Jagdev consultant pathway
A considered move.
A clear plan.
A successful move needs more than a fee-share headline. Our starting point is a conversation about what you want to build and whether we can provide the right setting.
This is a recruitment and onboarding pathway for legal professionals. It is not an accredited qualification course or a funded training academy.

Understand the economics before you move.
We do not publish a standard fee-share percentage or an earnings promise. Any proposal will depend on your practice, the support required and the terms agreed.
Ask for a written breakdown of the commercial arrangement. Consultancy status, tax responsibilities, insurance and exit terms should all be clear before you commit.
Your questions
Before we talk.
Do I need an existing client following?
Tell us about your current practice and how you plan to develop work. A following can be relevant, but we will assess each proposal individually. We cannot promise a flow of referrals.
Can I work remotely or part-time?
We are open to discussing different working patterns. The arrangement must suit the work, clients, supervision and the support available, and will be agreed individually.
What fee share and support do you offer?
Commercial terms and support are discussed individually. Before joining, clarify the percentage or payment basis, what it applies to, when you are paid, deductions and any additional charges.
Is this a route to qualifying as a solicitor?
No. This page is aimed at experienced legal professionals exploring consultancy. It does not offer a qualification programme or guarantee a training position. Any development or supervision will be agreed separately.
Can I bring my existing matters?
Any move of work needs appropriate checks and arrangements, including client choice, confidentiality, conflicts and your existing obligations. Do not send client files or identifying client information with your initial enquiry.
What happens after I get in touch?
We will review your background and proposed practice. If there appears to be a fit, we can arrange an initial discussion. Any appointment is subject to checks, agreement on terms and a written consultancy agreement.
