Solicitors and barristers in the UK are facing significant career challenges. These include:
- Longer hours, greater stress and poorer work-life balance
- Reduced fees caused by competition and cuts in legal aid
- Progress based on performance beyond strong legal skills & expertise
- Growing pressure from fee targets and other demands of running a practice
- Less job security and uncertainty over longer-term direction
Simon Broomer is a qualified solicitor and practised as a solicitor. 50% of his career consultancy clients are lawyers. Simon provided training & development for lawyers for 12 years.

Our clients range from newly qualified solicitors and barristers to senior partners and silks. We also work with HR, training and marketing professionals in law firms. Our clients are in private practice and work as in-house lawyers - in commercial organizations, the government legal service, the public sector and for charities. This gives us a unique insight into the many different career paths available to lawyers – inside and outside the legal profession.
We take a cautious approach, recognising that you have invested significantly in qualifying and in growing your experience. Any move or change in direction needs to be carefully considered and planned. To get an objective view on the options open to you come and see us before you start talking to recruitment consultants.
