In many jurisdictions, lawyers can practice through a legal entity such as a limited company, subject to professional regulator approval. In England and Wales, the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) authorises Alternative Business Structures (ABS) and Legal Disciplinary Practices (LDPs). In the US, professional corporations (PC) and limited liability partnerships (LLP) are common structures for law firm entities. We assist with the company formation; bar association authorisation is handled separately.
Traditional barristers' chambers in England and Wales are not partnerships or companies - they are sets of self-employed barristers sharing facilities. Some barristers also use personal service companies (PSCs) for their individual practice income. The regulatory requirements differ from solicitors' firms. We assist with the company formation element; Bar Standards Board rules and authorisation requirements are outside our scope.
Yes. Legal consultants can invoice personally. However, using a company provides liability protection, may improve professional credibility with institutional clients, and separates business and personal finances. It also enables the company to employ you, which can have tax planning implications depending on your jurisdiction.
For most international legal consultants, a UK Ltd is the most universally recognised structure: the UK legal market is global, and a UK Ltd is accepted by law firms, banks, and clients worldwide. A US LLC is preferred for US-focused consultants. We assess your specific client geography and advisory areas before recommending a structure.
