This concentration of talent is allowing these partners to win larger clients and mandates because clients see them as equivalent to the large City firms, they normally instruct but with increased pricing flexibility. These big hitting partners are attracted by the high take home pay, the freedom to genuinely run and build their practice, the extensive marketing support, support with recruiting associates/in-house associate talent resource, and the chance to still be working alongside other high profile partners thus having all the advantages of traditional private practice without the numerous draw backs.For more information on this role or other opportunities within London please do get in touch with Morris Goodman at Chadwick Nott.

Job Title: Senior Associates looking for partnership- platform firm ( all practice areas)Salary: £175,000-£300,000PQE Level: PartnerContract Type: PermanentWorking Hours: Full-timeThere is a perception in the market that platform/fee sharing/virtual law firms are not credible alternatives to traditional law firms and in some cases, this is arguably true. However, in this instance our client brings the best of both worlds ( high take home pay based on your own practice and the freedom to build your practice how you wish and work the hours you want- some partners spend 6 months skiing or travelling the world) with genuine integration in terms of marketing, global reach, associate resourcing, and quality of peer group ( up and coming senior associates and big hitting partners from leading global and US law firms). If you are a senior associate with a portable practice of at least £250k then this is a great option.
