Overcoming the overheads of the traditional law firm

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.

Unlimited Earning Potential

If you’re an equity partner in a traditional law firm, you’re often personally financially liable for everything in your firm.


At gunnercooke, you’re the director of your own business. Our remuneration structure provides a fairer way for lawyers to take home their fees. The mechanics are geared towards you – meaning you can earn more for what you do. 90% of our lawyers earn more than they did at their previous firm.

Set your structure

You decide how to charge for your services. Plus, you’ll work with your clients to agree the best pricing structure for them, giving them complete transparency – and ensuring they’ll trust you with future work.

Uncapped referrals

When you recommend a lawyer that subsequently becomes part of gunnercooke, you’ll receive a percentage of their annual billings for as long as you’re both with us. And you can leverage the internal network to gain introductions to new clients.

Ladies talking

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.
