Why be a Peerpoint Consultant?

A consulting career through Peerpoint is diverse, exciting, and immensely rewarding. As a Peerpoint consultant, you can have the opportunity to work in-house with one of our clients or in the Allen & Overy practice on an ad-hoc basis, supporting teams when needed or joining them for fixed periods to work on a deal. We only take you on when we see a demand for your particular expertise, making sure there is a good chance we can provide you with work on an ongoing basis.

Flexibility of Consulting

The benefits of legal consulting are wide-ranging. You might want more control over your time, to be able to balance professional and personal ambitions such as family responsibilities, a business idea, studies, or hobbies. Legal consulting gives you the flexibility to remain in the workforce without putting the rest of life on hold. You might want more choice and control over, or variety in, your work. Legal consulting enables informed decision-making about the future direction of your career, offering you the opportunity to work with different clients, sectors, and teams (including within Allen & Overy in some cases). It also offers flexibility and options, including the right to accept or decline potential placements or assignments.

Supporting You and Your Career Development

When you join our panel, you'll receive the full support of our dedicated legal consultant management team, but that's not all. Throughout the period of your assignment, you'll also have access to a huge suite of Allen & Overy resources, including an Allen & Overy partner or senior lawyer contact, A&O Shearman professional support lawyers and knowledge resources, bespoke Peerpoint support, further training, client newsletters and seminars, invitations to A&O Shearman networks, the A&O Shearman mentoring programme, and pro bono opportunities.

As a Peerpoint legal consultant, you're never on your own; instead, you're part of a community of like-minded lawyers who have all chosen the self-directed route, who are keen to share their experiences and learn from one another.
