Austen Whetham & Guest

AWG support experienced and qualified solicitors, under a fee sharing arrangement. We provide an opportunity to further your legal career without the constraints of employment, or the costs and risks of setting up alone. We are looking for dedicated and motivated solicitors who want to carve out their own successful practice but perhaps are inhibited by the outlay required to put in place the essential infrastructure and support staff required by the traditional high street model to enable them to practice on their own account.

Our approach is a direct response to the "New Competition" unleashed upon the profession by the 2007 Legal Services Act. We believe a significant section of the population (rather than consult impersonal sales people in call centres at one of the legion of recently emerged slick internet organisations) still prefers to buy their legal services from a traditional solicitor who they can see and speak to directly.
