Job Details
Cognitive Law is looking for enterprising Commercial Property Solicitors who have the ambition and skills to continue to build on their expertise, who are confident business developers, and who would like the potential to grow their own practice. The position would suit a well-rounded senior Solicitor with experience in a broad range of Commercial Property work including property development, commercial leases, acquisitions and disposals, secured lending, corporate transactions, and general property law advice, including landlord and tenant agreements
As a Solicitor at Cognitive Law you can manage your work/life commitments within the framework of a firm that combines full back-office support with the liberty to practise on your own terms. You would be free from billing targets and fixed hourly rates, enabling you to set your own charging structures and manage your own WIP, to the benefit of both you and your clients.
With no more internal meetings or other non-chargeable commitments imposed on your time, you would be able to re-calibrate your work/life balance without losing income or the ability to practice in your profession.
Cognitive Law is actively searching for Commercial Property Consultant Solicitors who want to take back management over how, when and where they practice. If you would like the control but not the compliance responsibilities that working as a self-employed solicitor can offer, joining our growing network of consultants would be ideal for you.

Company
When Lucy and Stuart founded Cognitive Law in 2014 they wanted to create a firm that brought together the best of how law can be practised in a modern way. They capitalised on the changes in how law firms can be owned and managed, and created a flat operating structure that ensures accessibility by clients to their advisors and transparency in working practices and fees.
At the core of Cognitive Law are the relationships that foster outstanding levels of service. When engaging a Cognitive solicitor, a client chooses to work with an individual not a corporate firm. Our solicitors all offer a 1:1 service to their clients. This personal contact paves the way for open discussion, and a natural transparency in fees and the progress of a case.
As our solicitors are afforded the freedom to develop their own practice specialisms, clients can be assured of receiving finely tuned expert advice. Our solicitors deliver what they promise and strive to exceed expectations in every case. Feedback is actively sought and built back into the service offering. In this way we can ensure that our clients’ interests are at the forefront of our decision making.
Our solicitors take time to get to know their clients, their businesses and the world in which they operate. Every company differs from another, and so we will be guided by our clients as to what fee structure works for their business. Whether it’s a tailored fee structure with set fee limits, an on-going retainer or fixed costs, you can be sure you know where you stand at every stage of the case. For those clients opting to work with a retainer we provide mid-month reviews giving a client accurate knowledge of what capacity remains within that agreement. Our solicitors are always available to talk through aspects of a case “off the clock” and firmly believe there is no question not worth asking.
As the firm continues to grow organically it will do so in the belief of focusing on legal work in such as way that adds sustainable value to our clients’ businesses.
