Interested in Joining a Virtual Law Firm?
A Message from Everyman Legal’s Founder, James Hunt:
If you’ve clicked on our ‘Join Us’ pages, I hope like many others you are considering a move to virtual law firm Everyman Legal.
By eliminating the need for costly city centre offices, we’ve created a new way to practise law through a virtual network of home-based solicitors who have the responsibility, and rewards, of running their own law practice with the support of Everyman Legal.
At Everyman, we’re trying to create something different: You may have read that we’re planning to list on Sharemark – the first UK law firm to announce its intentions to take advantage of the new practising regime being created under the Legal Services Act. It’s a bold move but we foster the same spirit as many of our entrepreneurial clients and plan to become the leading home-based network of solicitors in the UK.
Our business model is highly flexible and adaptable, and therefore can accommodate solicitors at various stages of their careers. In particular, we expect our firm will appeal to:
- Solicitors in their mid-30s with the ambition to grow their practice but who are disillusioned with the business model of the traditional law firm;
- Mid-career solicitors who feel constrained by the traditional law firm where equity partnership based on long hours of work is the key to financial reward;
- Older solicitors for whom work-life balance is also important but who want to continue an active working life on his/her own terms; and
- Mid-career corporate solicitors looking to build a team.
In these ‘Join Us’ pages you will be able to discover the depth and breadth of experience held by those joining our firm and learn what’s it’s like to be part of the Everyman virtual legal network. You may identify with some of the stories told by our solicitors. Most of all, I hope it will encourage you to contact me for a discussion about your next career move.
