As lawyers, we really put in the hours. Working at a traditional law firm, lawyers are under pressure to reach lofty billing targets, to incorporate the associated costs and overheads of running a commercial law firm. If you’re an equity partner, you’re often personally financially liable for everything in your firm.
At gunnercooke, you’re the director of your own business. The mechanics are geared towards you – meaning you can earn more for what you do.

I’ve more than doubled my previous salary and I work fewer hours than before. Last week, I was able to pick my daughter up from school for the first time…ever.
