Fixed-fee, value-based work.
We support our lawyers to understand how to price on the value of the outcome, agreed with the client upfront - which is better for them, and better for you. If pricing away from time is new to you, we help you learn it.

A Better Way to
Practise
Kepler Wolf is a platform firm. We bring together senior consultant solicitors to do high-judgement legal work for businesses at the moments that matter most - without the overheads, hierarchy and billable-hour pressure of the traditional model.
For experienced lawyers who want to do their best work, on their own terms.
If you have built real expertise over a career at leading firms or in senior in-house roles, you already know the work you do best. What the traditional firm often gets in the way of is doing it on your own terms, for the clients you choose, and being properly rewarded for the value you create rather than the hours you record.
WHAT WE OFFER
Five things that make this work in practice.
Support, not bureaucracy.
The infrastructure of a firm - brand, systems, compliance, pricing support, and colleagues to collaborate with across disciplines - without the politics and the fixed costs. You practise; we handle the rest.
Understanding of consultancy.
When you join a platform firm, you need to shed the mindset of the traditional law firm model. It will hold you back at the platform firm. We will help you plan your start and business approach now that as a consultant lawyer you are operating as a business in your own right through our platform.
Modern economics.
A transparent share of what you bill, without the overheads of a traditional partnership. You keep more of the value you create, and you are not subsidising a structure you do not use.
Senior work, no hierarchy.
You work directly with your clients on the matters that suit your expertise. No pyramid, no pressure to feed a chargeable-hours machine, no junior layer to manage.
The kind of lawyers who thrive here.
The senior solicitor who wants more control.
You’ve practised at a senior level and want more control over how, and for whom, you work.
The independent lawyer who wants a platform behind them.
You may already be independent, but want the support, infrastructure, and credibility of a wider consultancy behind you.
The specialist building around their craft.
You may be leaving a firm or building a practice around a specialism. Either way, the door is open.
