"At Nexa, we offer unrivalled support, from cutting-edge legal tech to experienced backoffice teams who truly understand your needs."
Nexa was founded in 2017 by Eliot Hibbert and John Roberts with full approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as a regulated law firm.
In January 2020, Nexa Law expanded its reach by acquiring Peregrine, a well-established law firm. This acquisition broadened Nexa's service offerings and marked its strategic entry into the London legal market, boosting its national presence.
Following the Peregrine acquisition, Nexa Law opened its London office in 2020. This expansion into the UK's commercial and legal hub enhanced Nexa's accessibility to clients and underscored its commitment to growth.
By the end of 2020, Nexa Law had grown its team to 50 skilled lawyers. This milestone reflected the firm's success in attracting top legal talent, positioning it to deliver exceptional services across various practice areas.
By 2022, Nexa Law doubled its roster to 100 lawyers, showcasing the success of its flexible, modern legal platform. This growth reinforced Nexa's reputation as a thriving legal community with a significant industry impact.
Today, Nexa Law has grown to 190+ lawyers, solidifying its status as a leading industry frontrunner. This ongoing expansion highlights Nexa's commitment to innovation and quality, offering an unmatched experience for clients and legal professionals alike.
Thinking about moving into consultancy? Whether you're ready to make a change or just exploring your options, here's how we make joining Nexa clear and straightforward:
Request a brochure or book a confidential call (at a time to suit you) with our Chief Commercial Officer to learn more. We'll follow up personally and never take a pushy approach, just a helpful, honest chat about how Nexa works.
If you're interested, apply with your CV, practising certificate and a simple business plan. You'll then meet one of our founders to explore how Nexa can support your goals.
We'll guide you through DBS checks, training, and IT setup, including a secure Nexa laptop. Once complete, you'll be ready to open matters and build your practice with full support, including access to all the leading Legal Tech.
Everything you need to know about joining Nexa as an individual lawyer
We offer a best in class fee share. The exact percentage depends on your seniority and practice area.
For context: if you bill £200k annually at a 90% collection rate (£180k collected), you’d take home £135k-£153k. Payments are made within 7 days of client payment clearing.
There are no hidden deductions, clawbacks, or complex profit-sharing calculations. What you see is what you get.
Yes. Nexa Law Limited is fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 1234567). We maintain Professional Indemnity Insurance covering up to £10 million per claim, which protects both you and your clients.
We’re also an official LEAP partner, and our compliance team conducts regular audits to ensure we meet all regulatory obligations.
You maintain full ownership of your client relationships and have complete autonomy over how you present yourself. You can operate under your own brand name (e.g., “Smith Legal Services”) or use the Nexa brand – the choice is yours.
Your brand appears on all client-facing materials, and you control client selection, case strategy, and pricing. If you ever leave Nexa, your clients remain yours.
Most lawyers are operational within 2-4 weeks. The process includes:
You can begin opening matters and billing clients immediately after onboarding is complete.
Zero upfront costs. Nexa provides everything you need at no charge:
There are no desk fees, no software subscriptions, no monthly minimums, and no clawback provisions. The only deduction is Nexa’s 15-25% commission on collected fees.
We typically work with solicitors who have 8+ years PQE and a proven track record in their practice area. That said, we evaluate each application individually.
If you have strong client relationships, a viable business plan, and the capability to generate £80k+ in annual billings, we’d encourage you to apply regardless of PQE.
Our Founder & CEO, Eliot Hibbert, joined Dan Warburton on The Law Firm Owners Podcast to discuss the model reshaping the legal sector.
In this episode, Eliot shares how Nexa’s consultancy-first approach empowers lawyers with greater flexibility, stronger earnings potential, and real autonomy, without sacrificing support or infrastructure.
If you’re exploring a different way to practise law, this is a must-listen.
From welcoming the newest consultant lawyers, to deep dives into the shifting legal landscape & firm-wide milestones, this is the heartbeat of the Nexa community.
