FAQ

What legal freelancers ask us.

Is legal freelance right for me?

Freelance is not a plan B or an escape route. It is a deliberate choice for more freedom, more variety and better rates. It also means more uncertainty and more self-organization. It works best for experienced legal professionals with established expertise, strong autonomy and the willingness to handle the business side of being independent.

How do I leave the bar and start as a freelancer?

We coach you on four fronts: positioning and niche definition, operational setup such as company structure, VAT and professional liability, first assignments through network activation without ethical pitfalls, and a continuous flow of missions via our alert list.

How do I move into Legal Interim Management?

Legal Interim Management is a fast-growing niche. Companies often do not publish LIM assignments publicly and instead ask trusted partners. It works best with 5 to 10+ years of relevant experience and a transition phase where interim management realistically fits.

How do I define my day rate?

A useful rule of thumb is your gross employee salary multiplied by 1.5 to 2 to reach a comparable net income as a freelancer. During intake, we provide concrete benchmarks by level, niche and availability.

How do invoicing, VAT and administration work?

There are two models: direct invoicing through your own company, or working through a payroll partner if you do not yet have your own structure. We clarify payment terms, contracts and timesheets upfront.

How does your alert list work?

The alert list is personal matching, not a mass mailing. When a relevant assignment comes in, you receive a targeted message with scope, timing, client information where possible and an indicative rate. You decide whether we introduce you.
