[Hiring] Consultant Lawyer @Rocket Lawyer

Role Description

We’re looking to expand the number of consultants we work with to provide legal advice to our business and consumer customers. As a Consultant Lawyer, you will represent Rocket Lawyer's commitment to making high-quality legal services more accessible to small businesses. You will combine strong legal expertise with a pragmatic, client-focused approach, helping entrepreneurs make confident business decisions through clear, commercially minded advice.

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in the following non-contentious areas:

• Advising start-ups
• Company law
• Company registration
• Shareholders agreements
• Share transfers and share issues
• Articles of Association
• Directors' service contracts
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Contract negotiations

We expect that:

• You’ll work remotely (we’ll send you referrals which you can deal with in your own time and when it suits you).
• You'll respond to leads in a timely manner (we want to try and minimise the connection times between the lawyer and the client).
• You’ll be experienced in your area of law with at least 5 years’ PQE (we need lawyers of all levels).
• You hold a valid England and Wales solicitor’s practising certificate.
• You'll be familiar with basic levels of IT and technology (such as virtual conferencing and Google Suite).
• You'll support our mission of providing simple and affordable legal services.

What makes you successful in this role:

• You build trust with clients.
• You communicate complex legal concepts in layman terms.
• You balance legal accuracy with commercial awareness.
• You are responsive and comfortable managing your own caseload.
• You enjoy working on a technology-enabled, fast-moving environment.
• You take ownership of the client experience from first contact through completion.

What we’re not:

• A traditional law firm. Rocket Lawyer is modernizing the way legal services are delivered, increasingly automating legal advice and building a large scale platform for a network of lawyers to work with small business and consumers online to provide affordable legal advice.
• We can’t advise on Reserved Legal Activities or immigration matters.

Benefits

• You'll become part of one of the world's largest online legal platforms, working with a modern legal model that combines technology, automation and experienced solicitors to deliver accessible legal support at scale.
• You'll work under Rocket Lawyer's Professional Indemnity Insurance.
• We'll provide backend technical support and administration (we help collect KYC and AML documents).
• Unlimited access to the Rocket Lawyer website and our library of documents.
• Essentially, if you want to work remotely when it suits you, Rocket Lawyer has the work, the back office functionality, and the insurance.
• You can also service your existing clients via our insurance and back office.
