A Better Way to
Practise

Kepler Wolf is a specialist platform law firm for consultant partners who want to practise more effectively than traditional law firm models allow. 

We bring together senior consultant solicitors who want to move beyond the traditional pyramid firm model: building their own practice, pricing based on the value of their expertise rather than time where the work allows, using technology and better ways of working to get more from their expertise, their client relationships and their working day. l

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.

Fixed-fee, value-based work.

We support our lawyers to understand how to price on the value of their expertise, 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 with expert pricing consultants.

Support, not bureaucracy.

The law firm infrastructure you need  - 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 unlearn many of the ways of working in a traditional law firm model - namely around measuring or billing time as the only way to value your expertise. You need clear focus on the problems you can solve for clients and the best way to offer your expertise.  We will help you plan your start and business approach - as a consultant partner 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.
