Corporate Partners | Build Your Own Practice with Spencer West

Corporate Partners | Build Your Own Practice with Spencer West
Fee share | Self-employed | England & Wales | Flexible working

Your practice, your clients, your terms.

Spencer West is an international law firm with 360+ partners across 25+ jurisdictions, recognised in Chambers & Partners and The Legal 500. We are expanding our corporate offering and want to speak with senior corporate lawyers who are ready to take control of their careers.

This is a fee share opportunity, not a salaried role. You run your own practice, keep the rewards of the work you do and the business you generate, and draw on a firm infrastructure that handles the things that slow lawyers down.

Why corporate lawyers join us

• Reward that reflects what you bring. Transparent, fee-share economics
• An environment that helps you expand your network. Through collaboration and relationship-building within our international firm, you can generate referrals and work together on cross-border matters from 25 jurisdictions (including M&A / private equity / venture capital / restructuring / commercial).
• Freedom to practise your way. Choose where, when and how you work, with no rigid hierarchy.
• Back office taken care of. Practice management, accounts, marketing, technology and office facilities across our network.
• Build a team or stay independent. Whether you want to practise alone or grow your own team, we back both.
• Collaborative, not corporate. Our values of collaboration, entrepreneurship and excellence mean you’ll have colleagues to share work and ideas with, not just a platform.

Who we’re looking for

• Corporate lawyers with 8+ years’ PQE, from City, national or international firms, senior in-house roles, or boutique and independent practices
• A recognised specialism and an established or developing client following
• An entrepreneurial, client-first mindset
• An active practising certificate or licence with no restrictions
• Willingness to work on a self-employed basis, as a sole trader or via your own limited company

Our process 

Simple and quick: an introductory call with the TA team, conversations with senior colleagues (virtual or in person), background checks, then onboarding with our marketing, accounts and technology teams.

If you are looking for a firm that allows you to practise at the highest level, grow your business, and work on your own terms, we would love to hear from you. Please submit your CV online to be considered.
