Principal Solicitor

What if you could earn more than a partner — without the politics, pressure, or practice overheads?

We're helping solicitors in Mornington Peninsula explore self-employment opportunities.

By applying to us, you get the best of both worlds in terms of exploring a career change.

The infrastructure and credibility of a reputable agency to promote you or help you start your own practice. Either way you'll be supported with a proven marketing, coaching, and referral system to build your own sustainable client base successfully wherever you decide to go for your next move.

Many of these roles are what we call 'self-employment with a safety net' — freedom with structure, profit with purpose.

What You’ll Receive:

70-100% of billables paid directly to you each month.

Choose your hours, clients, and practice location.

Full administrative, trust-accounting, and compliance support.

Professional indemnity insurance included.

Business development support from The Self-Employed Lawyers League (The SELL Life):

• Personalised client acquisition strategy and coaching
• Referral network of other self-employed lawyers
• Members benefits program that rivals the big national firms
• Courses, templates, and playbooks to help you scale faster
• Regular CPD Webinars to help you expand your knowledge
• Live sessions to solve business problems and grow your referral network

The Result:

Most solicitors double their income or replace their salary working half the hours — all while building a practice that belongs entirely to them.

You can enjoy all the autonomy of self-employment with the infrastructure of a top-tier firm — and the backing of an international network of like-minded lawyers that want you to succeed.
