The Consultant Model: Lawyers Are Doing It For Themselves

By Sarah Murphy, Clio.For decades, the path to success in the legal profession followed a predictable trajectory: join a firm as a trainee, progress to associate, and ultimately compete for the coveted partnership position. But a quiet revolution is underway – many lawyers are stepping away from conventional practice to embrace consultant roles.According to research by LexisNexis, this movement is gaining such momentum that by 2026, up to one-third of UK lawyers could be working under consultant arrangements rather than traditional employment models. The consultant pathway particularly appeals to mid-career and senior lawyers with a specialist practice area and an established client base.Importantly, the consultant model isn’t about working less – it’s about working differently. The rise of platform law firms that provide the necessary infrastructure and compliance frameworks alongside technological advances that enable remote work and efficient practice management facilitate this transformation.What’s driving the shift?Rigid hierarchies and inflexible working arrangements in traditional firms have fuelled dissatisfaction among experienced practitioners seeking greater autonomy. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated this trend by normalising remote work. While only 4.7% of UK employees worked from home in 2019, a recent Forbes Advisor poll revealed that 63% of respondents now work full-time or part-time remotely.Recent return-to-office mandates have heightened tensions, while technological advancements and platform law firms have removed barriers to independent practice by providing essential infrastructure without the administrative burden of solo practice.Market consolidation through mergers and acquisitions has further contributed to this trend

Legalweek 2025: Demos And Analysis Of Deepjudge, Vincent Ai, Thomson Reuters Cocounsel, Lexisnexis Protégé And More

By Neil CameronLegalWeek 2025 brought together some of the most innovative legal technology vendors, showcasing groundbreaking advancements in AI, automation, and data security.AdvertisementAs I wandered round I kept my eyes open for things that managed to grab my attention, here are some of those things.Legal Research & AnalysisDeepJudge were demonstrating their impressive AI-powered document search and analysis tools that can be used across a law firm’s entire corpus of data. Their context-aware NLP-driven technology facilitates untrained lawyers to retrieve and interpret complex case materials with a high degree of granularity and accuracy.AdvertisementI was particularly impressed with their NCLC AI Workflow development tool, which enables firms to produce complex AI applications based on a series of linked Workflow objects in a unique drag-and-drop environment.Orson Welles will have to rethink the famous speech from the top of the Ferris Wheel in The Third Man – the Swiss are now responsible for developing something much more exciting than the Cuckoo Clock.Alexi showed its AI-assisted legal research platform, providing speedy case law analysis and predictive insights. Others on the stand appeared impressed by its ability to streamline legal reasoning and produce relevant legal arguments.Wolters Kluwer continued to fly the European flag vying with the large US-based legal publishers with their multi-jurisdiction AI-based research system. The demonstration searches, however, were all pre-defined, and I was a bit disappointed that I wasn’t allowed to suggest my own searches.vLex Vincent AI Law demonstrated its AI-enhanced legal research and citation verification capabilities. I tried out a few different utilities; one was the analysis of a complaint which extracted and analysed a series of claims, proposed a defence to each claim as well as drafted a questionnaire of factual questions to ask the client about each claim.We then tried a standard 2nd Amendment query I’ve been using to compare different research tools – hoping that one day one of these AI research tools will criticise the Supreme Court’s various rulings – Heller (2008) and McDonald v. City of Chicago (2010) – which decided that the prefatory clause (“A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State”) does not in any way circumvent the operative clause (“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”) against all common sense
