gunnercooke was built on a different premise. Senior lawyers do their best work when the structure around them exists to support their practice, not to manage it. No lockstep. No timesheets. No internal billing targets.
Partners contract with the firm through their own limited company and keep between 70% and 90% of what they bill. The platform — compliance, IT, business development, gcTrust support — sits behind the practice, not in front of it.
The brochure covers how all of this works in practice: the model, the community, and what the move looks like from the inside, in the words of partners who have already made it.
Your practice, your terms
Choose the work, the clients and the direction. The platform supports whatever you build.
Judged on outcomes
No internal targets. No lockstep. Your rewards reflect your contribution, not a committee’s view of a good year.
A serious community
650+ advisors globally, 29 ranked practice areas, 16 offices across five jurisdictions. The scale of a top-100 firm, built around the lawyer.
A platform built for lawyers who had options.
The brochure covers all of this in detail. These are the three things most partners tell us landed first.
Ownership of your practice
Your clients, your direction, your terms. The firm supports the practice you build — it does not define it for you.
Transparent economics
Between 70% and 90% of what you bill. No lockstep, no partnership politics, no committee deciding what your year is worth.
Longevity on your terms
No mandatory retirement. No de-equitisation. Partners across four decades, practising for as long as they choose to.

The practical questions matter.
Before you download, here is what most partners want to know.
A twenty-four page introduction to gunnercooke written for senior lateral candidates. It covers the fee-share model, the platform and support infrastructure, the community (practice areas, partner origins, geography), and the practical steps involved in making the move.
No, not unless you ask us to. The brochure arrives by email within a minute and that is the end of it. If you want a conversation afterwards, there is a link in the brochure and on this page. If you do not, we leave it there.
Yes. Your details are held only by the gunnercooke recruitment team and are never shared externally or with your current firm.
gunnercooke has ranked practices across close to 30 practice areas in Chambers and Legal 500, spanning corporate, real estate, employment, disputes, private client, and a range of specialist and emerging disciplines. The brochure covers the breadth, and a conversation can quickly establish whether a specific practice fits.
The brochure includes a direct contact for Syed Nasser, Director of Talent. A twenty-minute conversation is the usual next step — confidential, off the record, no obligation to proceed.
