Join a Leading Traditional Welsh Law Firm

Are you an experienced Corporate or Commercial Lawyer looking for greater flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to maximise your earnings?

A well-established, traditional Welsh law firm is expanding its Consultant Lawyer network and is seeking ambitious Corporate/Commercial Lawyers to join the team across Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, or Bristol.

Unlike consultancy-only legal businesses, this is a long-established full-service law firm with an excellent reputation, established client base, and strong referral network. Consultants become part of the firm while enjoying the flexibility of working on a self-employed basis.



The Opportunity

Working on a consultant basis, you will receive instructions from the firm on a case-by-case basis, allowing you to choose the work that suits your expertise and availability. You''ll benefit from the backing, reputation, and infrastructure of an established law firm while maintaining complete flexibility over your workload.

  • Advise clients on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters.

  • Handle work including:

    • Mergers & Acquisitions

    • Business Sales & Acquisitions

    • Shareholder Agreements

    • Commercial Contracts

    • Joint Ventures

    • Company Restructures

    • General Corporate Advisory

  • Manage your own caseload with the support of an experienced legal team where required.

  • Build and maintain long-term client relationships.



What''s on Offer?

  • Attractive fee split arrangement.

  • High-quality work from a respected traditional Welsh law firm.

  • Instructions provided on a case-by-case basis.

  • Complete flexibility over when and where you work.

  • Administrative, compliance, and operational support.

  • The opportunity to build your own client following alongside work referred by the firm.

  • The security and credibility of being associated with an established legal practice rather than a consultancy-only model.



About You

  • Qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with experience in Corporate and/or Commercial Law.

  • Confident managing matters independently.

  • Commercially minded with excellent client care skills.

  • Looking for greater flexibility without sacrificing the support and reputation of a traditional law firm.

  • An existing client following is welcomed but not essential.

If you''re looking to enjoy the flexibility of consultancy while working alongside one of Wales'' most respected traditional law firms, we''d love to hear from you.
