QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

the details that matter

A closer look at the model, your working arrangements and the move to Kingsley Wood.

Is there a minimum billing requirement?

There is no minimum billing requirement in your first year. From your second year, the requirement is £100,000 per annum.

How and when will I be paid?

Payments follow receipt of client fees and confirmation of your billing spreadsheet. The firm operates a month-end payment process. We will explain the cut-off dates and payment timetable when discussing your agreement.

Can I set my own fees?

You can use fixed fees or hourly rates. The firm’s typical hourly rates range from £350 to £1,000 plus VAT. Your fee arrangements will need to suit the work and be agreed with the client.

Do I need a limited company?

You can contract with Kingsley Wood as a sole trader or through a limited company. We can explain the contractual arrangements for each option.

Does the firm require exclusivity?

No. The consultancy model does not require exclusivity. Your arrangements must still meet the minimum billing requirement and the terms of your consultancy agreement.

Can I bring my team and existing files?

You can bring colleagues, subject to onboarding and the usual due diligence. Our compliance team will review proposed file transfers and discuss the requirements with you before any move.

How does paralegal and junior support work?

You can draw on paralegal support or work with junior colleagues. The model provides for you to retain 40% of their billings. We will explain the fee allocation, availability and working arrangements before you use the service.

What insurance cover is included?

Your work with the firm is covered by its professional indemnity insurance, subject to the policy terms. The model includes a £5,000 excess on an upheld claim. We will explain the cover and excess arrangements with you.

What training and technology will I receive?

Support includes systems training, business development workshops, AML and compliance training, legal research resources, Salesforce CRM and dedicated IT assistance.

How long does onboarding take?

Onboarding can take as little as one to two weeks, depending on the information required and completion of the necessary checks. We will agree a realistic timetable for your circumstances.

How do referrals and lawyer introductions work?

The offer includes 15% on eligible cross-referrals and a £3,000 bonus for an eligible lawyer introduction. The calculation, eligibility criteria and payment conditions are governed by the relevant scheme and agreement.

What happens to client relationships if I leave?

Your consultancy agreement sets out arrangements for your own client relationships and for clients introduced by the firm or another lawyer. We will discuss these provisions with you before you join, including any requirements for a later transfer.
