Just a few weeks into 2021 and it’s clear that ‘New year, new start’ doesn’t have quite the same meaning any more. So how is it for you? Do you, like a number of General Counsel we’ve chatted to, feel that your job is at risk?
Or, if you feel your job is safe, have you been thinking about a possible new direction? Perhaps you’d like to harness your entrepreneurial spirit and work for your current employer in a different way?
Either way, the senior team here at The Legal Director can help. Here’s how…
Exiting your full-time role: it sounds scary, but bear with us…
We can construct a proposal to your current employer, setting out the benefits of you leaving your full-time job and your employer engaging you as a consultant from The Legal Director on a part-time basis. Benefits for your employer include cost savings, agility, retention of key business knowledge and continuity. If your employer’s business has shrunk because of Covid, then a part-time, highly experienced GC is a very attractive option.
Several of our team here at The Legal Director have followed a similar path over the past decade and for a variety of reasons – they have left full-time employment and made their employer their first client. It’s easier than you think, and the rewards of working ‘The TLD Way’ — financial, job satisfaction and work-life balance — constitute a very well-rounded package.
Take control of your career
It’s a win-win. You effectively become an entrepreneur as part of The Legal Director’s UK-wide team of 40-plus business lawyers. You’ll take control of your career, bringing your income with you while having a platform for building up a portfolio of other clients.
Your entrepreneurial flair will be encouraged and nurtured. And at the same time you’ll have the support of our business development framework and fully insured structure.
A potential game-changer for you and your life
It’s an opportunity to work at the top of your game, too. You can be an integral member of the senior teams at your clients’ businesses, so you get to influence their business decisions at the highest level. You’ll also be working with clients you like, and who value and listen to your business-focused legal advice.
So if you’re excited by the idea of building something on your own, but as part of a team and with a progressive and supportive legal business framework behind you, take a look at our Join The Legal Director website.
Then call us on one of the numbers below or drop us an email at connect@jointhelegaldirector.co.uk.
We very much look forward to hearing from you, even if it’s just for an exploratory chat. And whatever you decide, of course, we wish you a healthy and prosperous 2021.
Best regards,
James, Kirstie and Ed at The Legal Director
