Register with maturelawyers:

Maturelawyers is dedicated to finding opportunities for experienced lawyers, from partners to paralegals, throughout the UK. We are developing a database of potential candidates who all have one thing in common: experience. You could be working in private practice or in-house, a partner or senior in-houser, or a paralegal. You may be:

  • A retired lawyer who wants to keep working on a part time basis
  • A new mum who is looking to dip a toe back in the employment pool
  • Recently made redundant
  • Frustrated by the slog to partnership, or trying to climb the greasy pole to Head of Legal
  • Looking for a lifestyle change

Whatever your motivation for seeking a change and whatever your experience you will be able to tick most of the following boxes:

  • You're available at short notice and can hit the ground running.
  • You're happy to look at full time, part time and interim roles.
  • You need minimum training and supervision.
  • You've got bags of commercial nous - you are as much business advisor as lawyer.
  • You've seen it all before and are not easily fazed by difficult situations - you have the confidence to deal with pretty much anything that crosses your desk.
  • You get on with people and are used to working in teams, but are equally comfortable working alone without supervision or backup.
  • You've realised that partnership, or the General Counsel's office, is not your ultimate goal.

Please use the form below to register with us. We're also interested to hear of your experiences - both good and bad - of trying to find roles as a mature lawyer in private practice and in-house: ed@maturelawyers.com

Mature Workers bridge the skills gap
I read with great interest today that UK entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on older workers to plug skills shortages in their businesses, according to figures released by entrepreneur think tank, the Tenon Forum.Nearly half (45 per cent) of UK owner-managers are concerned about skills shortages and many claim younger recruits are often just not up to the job. Many entrepreneurs are now looking to the previously untapped potential of older workers to plug the gap, with two thirds (66 per cent) of SME leaders agreeing that the employment of workers aged 50 plus is a good solution to skills shortages. And more than a fifth (22 per cent) of entrepreneurial businesses actually favour the hiring of older workers over college leavers as a solution to staffing problems.
