The Family Law Partners Consultant model is designed to give consultants the space, tools and support they need to practice effectively – professionally, financially and personally.
We have one of the largest NCDR teams in the country and attract lawyers of a like-minded ethos, of supporting clients to resolve their family disputes outside of court wherever possible. This is fundamental to our practice and we encourage all our lawyers to undertake NCDR training and commit to this way of working.
Here are some of the benefits our Consultants value most
Our model offers the freedom of self‑employment with the stability, infrastructure and reputation of a top‑tier specialist firm behind you.
- Entrepreneurial freedom, without personal risk – Build your practice on your own terms. We carry the regulatory and financial burden, including complaints handling and full credit control, so you can focus on your clients.
- A supported transition into consultancy – We offer support to help you move from a traditional employed role into a flexible, self-employed model – including access to overflow and internal referrals from day one.
- A respected, award-winning brand behind you – The Family Law Partners name, recognised by The Times, Chambers, and the Legal 500, strengthens your ability to attract clients and referrers. Your profile sits on a site that draws over hundreds of thousands of visits every month.
- Operational and paralegal support – Dedicated operational support and a dedicated paralegal resource for the firm’s consultant community.
- Best-in-class tools and systems – Leap, Slack, LexisNexis, 3CX and more, all provided. You also get a Review Solicitors profile and complimentary use of desk space at any of our offices.
- A genuinely supportive legal community – Immediate access to highly experienced family lawyers and NCDR specialists, peer support, reflective practice groups, and full participation in firm-wide events and culture.
- Flexibility to broaden your work – NCDR sits at the core of what we do, and you have the freedom to undertake third-party work and build strong external referral networks as a specialist in your own right.
- Marketing expertise and buying power – A bespoke marketing plan supports your launch, with ongoing strategic support from our marketing specialists, and access to best-rate SEO and Google Ads services through our collective buying power.
