When your role is to create absolutes, flexibility in your workplace is key.
Your experience and our experience - the perfect match
As a legal professional, you know first-hand the challenges of balancing client representation with running your own business. You’ll also understand the amount of non-billable hours and overhead expenses success requires in the industry. And so do we.
Based in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, we’ve earned a reputation for our forward-thinking and dynamic approach to legal services. This position in the industry renders a level of respect on which we thrive and on which we work extensively to maintain - every single day.
You know the deal, because as a practitioner running your own practice, you’ve probably been burning the midnight oil to keep up with running a business as well as actually trying to complete the legal work you’re billing for.
Over the past year, we’ve seen an increasing amount of legal professionals just like you “struggle to juggle”. It sparked an idea which we’ve brought to fruition. An evolution of the legal industry. What if you could actually shake the shackles of running your practice and just focus on being the exceptional lawyer you were meant to be?
Lehman Walsh offers an alternative to running your own practice, without sacrificing your independence and ability to call the shots.
Freedom, Control & Flexibility
Our Consulting Principal model is a level up on running your own legal practice. Succinctly put - we provide the credibility of our brand, administrative services and a network of peers and you, well, you continue to work independently in your chosen legal specialty.
Effectively you operate as an independent legal practitioner under the Lehman Walsh umbrella, secure in the knowledge that all the “office” and admin is taken care of.
You can probably already start to list the benefits yourself, but here are some you might want to consider:
Work remotely from wherever you are on the globe
You’ve worked hard to achieve independence. Working as a Consulting Principal to Lehman Walsh Lawyers means you can retain this independence and base yourself wherever you work best. When you do need an impressive location for face to face meetings, you can access our offices in Sydney’s MLC Building.
Unlimited access to the services of a large legal firm
We provide you with a full service offering for your clients. Administrative support, essential collaboration with experienced colleagues, paralegal staff and all the services you require from your own law firm.
Working in an environment where your seniority attracts respect - not politics:
Remove office politics, unnecessary hierarchy and unreachable targets from your life. When you work in an environment free from inter-office drama and experience the drive of colleagues to achieve common success, you’ll be surprised at the success you can attain!
Leverage the credibility of an established Law Firm to build your client base:
There is no doubt that working with a respected, large firm is a strong magnet both for new business and the ability to attract significant rates. Working as a Consulting Principal allows you to utilise our reputation in the industry to grow your business.
You set your own goals and take the majority of the billings
Our Consulting Principals set their own goals. You’ll no longer have to meet billing targets whilst sacrificing the majority of your billings to the firm.
We believe, afterall, that you are doing the work, so you deserve the biggest share.
Set your own hours, choose your own clients and work on what makes you happy
You are in the driver’s seat, supported by a team, a culture and a brand that is motivated by your success.
Our vision is to grow a legal firm which recognises that the interests of clients are best served by bringing together Consulting Principals who work within a culture that supports collaboration, values quality and dispenses with ego.
You do you. And we’ll look after the rest.
What could this mean for me?
Our Consulting Principals are all well supported, connected, and enjoy a flat rate service fee. Any charges to your clients in the first three months will be processed by Lehman Walsh at a 25% fee and following this at the rate of 30%.
So, if you have your own client list, and consider yourself to be a self-managing professional who values their own time and career freedom, it’s time to get in touch.
