What if you could have the law and a life?

We offer two alternative career pathways for lawyers who want to ditch the daily grind without sacrificing on the quality of the work: Secondments and Streams. Both will give you the flexibility to work with incredible companies on your terms.

Secondments are like being adopted by a company for a fixed period (usually 6-12 months). You become part of their team, soak up their culture, and focus all your energy on one big project or role. It’s a chance to really get to know a client’s business inside out.

In a Secondment, you’ve got a clear mission. The client tells you exactly what they need, and you dive in deep. With Streams, you’ve got to be ready for anything. Each project is different, so you need to be adaptable and roll with the punches.

In Streams, you can totally work on multiple projects at the same time. In a Secondment, you’ll be focused on one client. But even in Streams, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Quality over quantity, and don’t forget to save some time for yourself!

Streams is perfect if variety is the spice of your life. You get to work with a bunch of different clients on all sorts of projects, all on your own terms. You choose what you work on, when you work, and where you work from. It’s like being your own boss, but without the hassle of finding clients.

Secondments are like a deep-dive with one client for a set time. You’re all in, working closely with their team. Streams is more like a buffet – you get to work on different projects with different clients, all while enjoying the freedom of working remotely on your own schedule.

We’ve got a diverse mix of legal superstars on our panel – from fresh-faced associates to seasoned veterans, in-house pros to firm-trained experts. Whether you’re an M&A maven, an IP aficionado, or an energy law guru, you’ll find your tribe here.

Maybe you’re craving better work-life balance, itching for a career shake-up, or just want more time for the things (and people) you love. Or perhaps you’re ready to craft a work life that energises you without burning you out. Whatever your reason, Counselect can help you find the perfect fit.

Yes. Our team will review your profile, and if you’re a good fit, we may ask you to complete a test. This helps us understand your skills, interests, and expertise to make sure you’ll thrive on our Panel. Keep in mind, this is just to join the Panel. If we match you with a client for a project, they’ll likely want to assess your skills and chat with you before green-lighting you.

Nope, nada, zilch! Registering for our Panel is completely free. And if you’re accepted, you still won’t have to pay us a dime.

Working with Counselect can supercharge your career in many ways. Secondments let you dive deep into a specific industry, forge strong professional bonds, and potentially land an in-house role. Streams helps you broaden your skills, grow your network, and explore entrepreneurship. Both give you the flexibility to craft a career that truly aligns with your aspirations and values.

You bet! We’re always on the lookout for legal rockstars to join our ranks. If you know someone who’d be a perfect addition, please send them our way.

Joining our crew is a breeze. Just fill out the registration form, and hit submit. Our team will check out your profile and invite you for an assessment if you’ve got what it takes. Ace that, and you’ll be part of the Panel, ready to snag exciting gigs from clients.

We work with a diverse range of clients, from industry giants to boutique firms to non-profits. What they all have in common is a desire to tap into top legal talent on a flexible basis. Many reputed multinationals trust us to design their short-term staffing strategies.

Clients need legal superstars to help them navigate the chaos without breaking the bank. Freelancers offer the perfect mix of expertise, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making them an attractive option for companies looking to stay agile.

When a client project comes in, we carefully review the requirements and match them with the skills, experience, and preferences of our talent pool. If we think you’re a good fit, we’ll reach out with the details. If you’re interested, we’ll pitch your profile to the client and take it from there.

The sky’s the limit! Our projects are as diverse as our clients, ranging from legal research and contract drafting to compliance reviews and due diligence. The exact nature of the work will depend on the client’s needs and your area of expertise. But one thing’s for sure – you’ll never be bored.

We’ve got a rigorous quality control process to make sure client dissatisfaction is rare. But if it does happen, we’ll work with you to get to the bottom of the issue and find a solution. That might mean extra training, mentorship, or a performance improvement plan. Our goal is to set you up for success.

Client confidentiality is our top priority. Before starting any project, all our talent sign ironclad NDAs. We’ve also got strict data protection protocols in place and provide guidance on managing confidential information, especially when juggling multiple clients through our Streams solution.

Getting on our Panel is just the first step. It makes you eligible for paid project invites, but you’ll only start earning once you’ve been selected by a client for a specific gig.

We’re all about fair pay for fair work. Our rates are based on market standards and take into account your skills, experience, and the project scope. We handle all the billing and make sure you get paid on time, every time, so you can focus on doing what you do best.
