Lawyer (Independent Contractor)

About Sprintlaw (UK) Ltd

We’re a disruptive new kind of legal services provider with a mission to change the way legal services are delivered. Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible legal services for startups and small businesses. After years of award-winning growth in Australia, our business expanded into the UK market in 2020.

We’re focused on efficiency, simplicity and embracing technology, and in the UK, have been recognised with awards including Alternative Legal Service Provider of the Year (British Legal Awards), Innovator of the Year (British Legal Technology Awards), and Innovation of the Year (Modern Law Awards).

We offer clients a range of fixed-fee legal packages covering everything that small businesses and startups need – company set up, contract review and negotiation, employment, capital raising and data protection. We run our business like a tech startup, with user experience, creativity and lean thinking at the core of our culture.

About the role

Sprintlaw operates as a legal consultancy, not a law firm. As an independent contractor at Sprintlaw, you’ll be able to log into our platform whenever you like and pick up the projects you want to do. We work flexibly with our contractors so you can decide when you work, the volume of projects you do and the type of work you do. We’ll set you up with all our online project management systems, automated invoicing system and workflow automations, so all you need to do is work with the end client to deliver their fixed-fee projects.

If you’re running your own practice and looking to partner with a company like Sprintlaw, we’d love to receive your application.

What you'll do

We’re looking for independent contractors who:

• Have 4+ years of experience in broad commercial & corporate areas of law
• Are set up as a private company (either as a legal consultancy or independent SRA regulated law firm)
• Have Public Liability Insurance of at least £2m
• Understand our mission to make legal services simple and efficient for small businesses
• Can follow our brand guidelines to ensure a consistent Sprintlaw client experience
• Can keep us updated on changing capacity

Ideally, you are someone who:

• Is personable, with experience working directly with clients
• Is tech-savvy, able to operate our technology platforms
• has excellent communication skills (as we operate entirely online, the way you communicate to the small businesses we work with is very important!)
• has experience in any of the following areas: commercial, corporate structuring & capital raising, employment law, intellectual property (including trade mark applications and oppositions), franchising, NFP and charity set up, and data privacy compliance.

Our preference is to work with contractors who have a broad set of expertise areas and can service more clients, but we also sometimes work with specialist contractors depending on the area of work you do.
