What if you could earn more than a full-time General Counsel — without the internal politics, fixed salary ceiling, or executive treadmill?
We’re helping experienced in-house lawyers in London explore fractional General Counsel opportunities.
By starting this career path with us, you gain the best of both worlds:
The credibility and infrastructure of established firms and referral partners — combined with the freedom to build your own high-value portfolio practice on your own terms.
This is what we call self-employment with a safety net — autonomy with structure, income with scalability.
What You’ll Receive
- 90-100% of revenue paid directly to you (one-off intro fees only)
- Flexible contract structure — choose your portfolio of clients
- Remote-first with optional office access
- The ability to scale from 1 retained client to 5+ over time
Business Development Support from The SELL Life
You receive:
- Personalised strategy to position yourself as a retained strategic advisor
- Frameworks for packaging fractional GC services into predictable monthly retainers
- Access to a curated referral network of commercial lawyers and founders
- Vendor discounts and member benefits that rival national firms
- Courses, templates, and playbooks for scaling a portfolio practice
- Live sessions designed to solve business development bottlenecks
Who is This Is For?
Senior lawyers with in-house experience who:
- Are already acting as a strategic business partner
- Want higher income potential than fixed executive salary
- Prefer influence over internal hierarchy
- Are commercially minded and confident advising founders or boards
- Value autonomy but don’t want to build everything from scratch
The Result
Most experienced counsel transitioning to fractional models:
- Replace or exceed their corporate salary
- Work across diverse, growth-focused businesses
- Build equity-like upside through long-term client relationships
- Create a practice that belongs entirely to them
This is not a traditional role.
It’s a platform to build something of your own — with the backing of an international network of entrepreneurial lawyers.
