Why Become a Consultant Solicitor with Trueman Bailey Law?
Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose.
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
We believe the relationship should be straightforward.
You retain 60% of the fees you generate, with 40% retained by us.
That 40% gives you access to the wider platform and support behind your consultancy, including our systems, infrastructure, technology, training, marketing support, banking support, onboarding and ongoing assistance.
There is also a simple annual consultancy fee of £250 + VAT.
No complicated layers. No unnecessary barriers. Just a clear structure designed to give you the freedom to build your practice while knowing there is an established team and infrastructure behind you.
We Get You.

Your law career. Your clients. Your business.
You became a solicitor to build a career in law. That doesn’t mean you have to spend the rest of it working within someone else’s idea of how a law firm should operate.
Our consultancy model is built for solicitors who want more autonomy, more opportunity and more control over the way they work — with the infrastructure, support and protection of an established firm behind them.
We believe in something quite simple:
We support you. We don’t do it for you.
You know your clients, your practice and your ambitions. We provide the platform, systems, expertise and support that allow you to build those things into something of your own.
What if you could build your practice around your life?
Traditional law firms can make it difficult to have both.
Long hours. Rigid structures. Limited autonomy. Layers of management. Business decisions being made by people who don't necessarily understand the practice you are trying to build.
We believe there is another way.
Our consultants are encouraged to take responsibility for their own businesses, make their own decisions and develop their own client relationships and working practices — within the regulatory and operational framework of the firm.
That means you have the freedom to build a practice that works for you.
Whether that means creating a thriving conveyancing practice, developing a specialist client base, building a team around you or simply creating a working life that gives you more time with your family, the opportunity is yours to shape.
You choose the direction. We build the platform around you.
We believe solicitors should be supported like business owners
Being an excellent lawyer and being a successful business owner are two different skill sets.
And we understand that.
You may have spent years learning how to advise clients, manage transactions and deliver exceptional legal work. You may not have been taught how to build systems, market a practice, manage billing, develop a pipeline or navigate the operational side of running a business.
That shouldn't stop you from becoming a successful business owner.
We've done the hard work of building the infrastructure so you don't have to start from scratch.
You bring your expertise, ambition and clients.
We provide the platform, systems, support and infrastructure to help you build.
Your success is your business
One of the biggest differences in our model is the way we think about your success.
We don't want to build a business where consultants simply become another number on a spreadsheet.
We want you to build something of your own.
That could mean growing your client base.
Developing a specialist area.
Creating a team.
Increasing your income.
Building a long-term business.
Or simply creating a career that gives you greater flexibility and more time for the people who matter to you.
Your ambitions don't have to look like anyone else's.
There is no single definition of success here.
Everything you need to build your practice
Starting or developing your own practice shouldn't mean reinventing the wheel.
Our consultancy package has been designed around the things solicitors actually need to operate successfully.
A complete operational platform
From workflow and billing procedures to technology and day-to-day processes, our systems are designed to make running your practice straightforward and efficient.
Professional indemnity support
Our start-up package includes indemnity arrangements designed to support new consultants as they establish their practice.
Technology and IT support
You don't need to become an IT expert to run a modern legal practice.
We provide ongoing IT support and the technology infrastructure you need to work efficiently.
Billing systems designed around your business
We have built clear procedures for billing and payments, including billing on account where appropriate and in accordance with the firm's regulatory requirements.
Our aim is simple: make the process clear, efficient and easy for you to manage.
Training and development
Joining us doesn't mean being handed a login and being left to work it out.
Our training and development platform gives you the knowledge and resources you need to understand our systems, procedures and processes from the outset.
And our support doesn't stop once your initial training is complete.
Marketing support
Building a practice requires more than doing excellent legal work.
You need to be visible.
We provide access to marketing tools, guidance and practical support to help you develop your profile, attract opportunities and grow your business.
A dedicated onboarding experience
We believe onboarding should be more than a welcome email and a list of documents.
Our onboarding process is designed to give you genuine support from the moment you decide to join us.
We check in. We talk to you. We help you understand the systems. We help you navigate the billing process. We answer questions.
Most importantly, you have people around you.
So, is consultancy right for you?
Our model is designed for solicitors who:
want greater autonomy over their working life
want to build their own client base and practice
are entrepreneurial and commercially minded
want to increase their earning potential
want flexibility without sacrificing professional support
want the opportunity to develop a team or specialist practice
want to take responsibility for their own success
want to build a career around their life — not the other way around
If that sounds like you, we'd like to talk.
Build something of your own.
You don't need to build it alone.

And yes, we understand life matters too.
We aren't just building a consultancy model around work.
We're building it around people.
We understand that your career sits alongside a family, children, parents, relationships, commitments and a life outside the office.
Perhaps you want to be more present for your children.
Perhaps you want greater flexibility as your parents get older.
Perhaps you want to build something that gives your family greater financial security.
Perhaps you simply want to have more control over how your working week looks.
Those things matter.
A successful career shouldn't have to come at the expense of everything else.
