Absolutely. You maintain your existing relationships and instruct counsel directly. Fees are simply processed through the Nexa cashiering system for seamless administration.

Yes. Nexa offers a financial support arrangement for new consultants to help bridge the move from a salaried role while your litigation rhythm establishes itself in the new structure.

You sign a Consultancy Agreement with Nexa Law Limited and operate under its SRA authorisation. Most consultants work through a personal service company, and onboarding typically takes between two and four weeks. Nexa’s recommended accountants can assist with setting up a personal service company if needed.

Once on the platform, you manage your litigation practice exactly as you do now: issuing proceedings, corresponding with opponents, attending hearings, instructing counsel, and managing your clients through their disputes from start to finish. Nexa handles compliance, insurance, banking, cashiering, and administration. The disbursement management system is specifically designed for contentious work, accommodating counsel fees, expert costs, court fees, and the recovery of costs following judgment or settlement.

For litigators considering how to leave their current firm and go independent in the UK, the Nexa model provides the structure to do this without losing the firm-level functions that support complex litigation practice. You can work under your own personal or business brand, the Nexa name, or a combination. Litigators with a strong personal reputation in a specific field, whether that is construction disputes, professional negligence, or commercial fraud, often maintain their personal brand while using Nexa’s regulatory and operational infrastructure.

Nexa is looking for civil litigation and dispute resolution solicitors with at least eight years’ PQE. You need either an established client base or a specific and realistic plan to develop one as a consultant litigator. The model suits experienced solicitors who can assess contentious matters, advise on litigation risk, manage complex disputes from inception to resolution, and maintain client relationships over extended proceedings.

Nexa is a particularly strong environment for ambitious, high-achieving senior associates with a strong commercial dispute resolution track record who are ready to build their own litigation practice, and for experienced partners who want to continue handling the contentious work they are known for without the management obligations that currently sit alongside it. Relevant areas of practice include:

• Commercial litigation and dispute resolution
• Contract disputes and breach of contract claims
• Civil litigation across all courts
• Debt recovery and enforcement
• Injunctions and urgent interim relief
• Mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
• Arbitration
• Insolvency litigation
• Property and land disputes
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Contentious probate
• Employment tribunal representation
