What is Burges Salmon Flex?

In today’s ever-changing world of work, there has never been a better time to take control of your career and working life as a flexible Lawyer or Legal Consultant.

Burges Salmon Flex is the flexible lawyering platform that provides the opportunity to optimise the balance between work and life, whilst maintaining high quality work and clients. It also offers exceptional self-employed lawyers the chance to maintain that professional connection with a network of expert colleagues, whilst continuing to develop your professional contacts, experience and skills.

What does it mean to be a Flex Lawyer?

As a firm, we are well known for our high achieving yet balanced culture and we carry this approach through to Burges Salmon Flex. As a Flex Lawyer, you will never feel as though you are here to make up the numbers or simply to fill a gap. You will be a member of the Burges Salmon community, with support from like-minded lawyers as well as access to the firm’s resources and professional support services.

As well as the direct assistance of a Business Partner in our Resourcing Team; throughout an assignment with Burges Salmon Flex, you will receive:

• Any hardware you need (laptop/surface book, mobile phone etc.)
• A Burges Salmon Partner contact
• Access to Burges Salmon’s knowledge and information resources
• Integration with your appropriate department
• Support in the form of personal coaching, training and development; tailored to suit your needs
• Invitations to networking events, training sessions and seminars

As a self-employed Flex Lawyer, you are in control of what work you commit to and when. We can work with you to help you get the most out of your career as a freelance lawyer and achieve your goals; which might include any one or more of the following:

• Achieving an optimum work/life balance
• Being more independent and having greater autonomy
• Pursuing an interest outside of your career
• Greater variety in your work and clients
• Expanding or developing a specific skillset

Whatever your reason for exploring a more dynamic, progressive way of working than the traditional legal career path, our resourcing team can talk you through what becoming a Burges Salmon Flex Lawyer could mean for you.
