If you’re searching for consultant solicitor jobs, you’re probably looking for more than another role.
You may already have an established client base, a strong reputation and years of experience. The question is whether the traditional law firm model still gives you the professional and commercial independence you want.
Nexa offers another route.
Instead of building a law firm from scratch — or continuing to operate within a traditional partnership structure — you can build your own practice within an established, regulated national law firm.
Your clients. Your practice. Your reputation. Backed by Nexa.
A consultant solicitor is an experienced lawyer who operates with significant autonomy while benefiting from the infrastructure and support of an established law firm.
At Nexa, our consultant lawyers:
The result is professional independence without having to take on every responsibility associated with running a standalone law firm.
Nexa is particularly suited to lawyers who have already established their professional reputation and want greater control over what they build next.
We regularly speak to:
You don’t need to be actively looking for a move.
Sometimes the right conversation starts simply by asking:
“What could my practice look like if I had more control over it?”
The consultant model gives you independence. Nexa gives you a community.
Our lawyers work across a broad range of practice areas and regularly collaborate, exchange referrals and share expertise.
You can build your practice independently while remaining part of something bigger.
Independent in how you practise. Connected in how you succeed.
