Our Clients
Artington Legal was established 8 years ago and some of our very first clients are still with us. We aim to develop long lasting relationships based on trust and our clients appreciate our legal excellence and the outstanding level of service they receive, which is provided at a fair price. Due to many of our consultants’ in-house experience, we can relate to and understand the way in which individual businesses operate and how they wish to be supported from a legal perspective. We are renowned for our commercially focused and pragmatic advice.
Our clients range from start-ups, through to SMEs, all the way to large international listed companies based abroad. We cover a wide range of industries, from IT to fundraising and from venture capital to travel agencies. We work with many international clients and have developed an international legal alliance of law firms, called Acuta that is available to service our clients in their local countries in their local language.

Why become a consultant solicitor?
Looking for a better work-life balance? Keen to spend more time with your family or on your leisure pursuits? Want to earn more money and work less hours?
We have found many experienced solicitors whose need for a balanced life, with challenging work and a rewarding career, are simply not met in conventional law firms or employed positions; solicitors who want to have the time to deliver the best possible service to their clients without the politics and endless meetings on which mainstream firms seem to thrive.

In short, you can earn more, work less, without compromising your professionalism.
As a consultant solicitor at Artington Legal, you will have the freedom to decide how to run your week so as to deliver the dedicated and personal service your clients need.
Decide what you could earn
You define your own billing targets with unlimited earning potential, giving you the freedom to work on your own terms and determine your own work-life balance.
Grow your own client base
Would you like to grow your own business in your own way? We encourage all our consultants to have a certain level of entrepreneurship and to develop their relationship building skills. You have the freedom and flexibility to build your own relationships with your clients. You may choose to have a few large clients, or several smaller clients – it’s up to you! You can work to your own strengths, you can decide your own business hours, set your own objectives and define your earning potential.
Determine your own hours and where to work
One of our core beliefs is that all work commitments can be carried out flexibly and no matter where. You may prefer to work in the evenings, at weekends or even at the crack of dawn! As a consultant, you are not regulated by strict office hours – you have the freedom to decide your own hours and can take on as many or as few hours as you wish. You also decide where you work (as long as you have access to Wi-Fi!), either at home, in your own office or at a client’s office. If you know you have quiet periods or have family commitments, then you can take time off or choose when and where you work.
Flexibility
We have a default hourly rate, but we respect and understand that flexibility is key and so you have full control over how much you decide to bill. We try to limit the amount of admin you have to undertake; you will have very few unnecessary internal meetings! We don’t set performance targets, although we are keen for you to understand the rewards that come with consistent regular billing. Whilst you focus on your legal work, we will look after other essentials such as insurance, compliance, invoicing and back office boring stuff! This should free you up enormously to then let you focus on what you want to do.

Uncapped earning potential
Do you want to earn more, work less, without compromising your professionalism? We offer a highly competitive fee structure as we value our solicitors and their expertise. We reward you for the work you carry out by paying you a percentage of what has been billed. This can vary dependent on whether the client is yours or has been referred to you. Each consultant solicitor is paid in the same way and you have an uncapped earning potential. The possibility to increase your earnings is all down to you – you can take on as much or as little work as you want. Although there is no monthly salary, you have the potential to earn much more than what you might earn at a traditional law firm.
Targets
Artington Legal is a modern, forward thinking law firm. We have taken away formal targets which we believe create unnecessary pressure, but (if you wish) we will help you to set your own informal targets in order to fulfil your potential. We want to give you the freedom to decide how to operate. We always look for consultants who bring with them a client following, but we have seen consultants also develop an excellent following from sheer ambition and determination. Artington Legal has a competitive fee share structure which rewards achievement – it’s simple: the more you bill, the more you earn.
Referrals
Working as part of our collaborative team, you will have the chance to develop relationships with like-minded team players and cross refer work, benefitting from our excellent referral fee share scheme. We aim to have weekly remote calls with the team and have face to face quarterly meetings whenever possible, usually in London. This is a chance to relax, have some lunch and chat informally to your other remote working colleagues.
Meet our lawyers
Artington Legal consists of a group of senior well-respected lawyers who are commercially astute, entrepreneurial, with drive and ambition to foster their own client relationships and deliver high quality legal services.
We trust and value our lawyers and are always on the hunt for new experts to join our team. We are keen to hear from experienced, proactive solicitors (qualified in the UK with at least 10 years PQE) committed to providing great client service, with a track record at a City or highly regarded regional firm and with a client following. In-house experience is also an advantage. You would join a group of equally well qualified solicitors, providing top class service to our clients.
At Artington Legal, you will be part of a highly collaborative group of like-minded people. Our experienced team of lawyers based both in the UK and abroad will often work together on matters. We encourage a team mentality even though we are all remote workers.
Regular video calls take place as well as meetings to ensure face to face contact and interaction. Advice and encouragement are always available whenever needed and we have an active correspondence of ideas between the team on a regular basis. We always encourage cross referrals across disciplines and as our solicitors are all experts in their field, this can be carried out confidently in the knowledge that another talented lawyer is managing and serving one of your clients. Your client will receive the same standard of legal advice that you already provide. You will also be financially rewarded for any referrals you initiate which will help to expand and grow your own business. We are proud of our friendly Artington team and the collaborative way we all work. We are scattered around the country and the globe, but all understand the importance of true teamwork.
Support
Artington Legal knows how important it is to provide excellent support to its consultant solicitors with structuring a flexible working life. We handle all the firm’s technology, administration, compliance, invoicing, debt recovery, banking and marketing.
Many of Artington Legal’s consultant solicitors are used to working at top law firms or in other large businesses and the transition to being a consultant solicitor needs to be a smooth one. Over the last 8 years, Artington Legal has invested significantly in its support structure to ensure that all of our consultant solicitors get the help and support they need, freeing you up to focus on your clients in the knowledge that everything else is being looked after.
