Setfords

Setfords is a UK-based law firm operating under a modern consultancy model that enables it to deliver legal services to individuals and businesses nationwide. Established in 2006 by Guy Setford, the firm pioneered its consultancy structure in 2008, allowing solicitors to work on a flexible freelance basis while supported by a centrally based administrative team. This model ensures that clients benefit from direct access to an experienced lawyer throughout their case, rather than being passed between junior staff, while lawyers retain greater control over their working arrangements.

Setfords has expanded rapidly and now has more than 600 consultant solicitors across the UK. The firm combines its flexible structure with significant investment in technology, including a client-facing app, to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. Its transparent fee-share model ensures clarity in costs, and its approach has been recognised with multiple accolades, including being named a “Most Loved Workplace” in 2023.

The firm provides a broad range of services. For individuals, this includes residential conveyancing, wills and probate, and property litigation. For businesses, services span banking and finance, commercial property, corporate and business services including mergers and acquisitions, and debt recovery. Setfords’ combination of nationwide reach, consultant-led expertise, and digital innovation underpins its reputation as a forward-thinking legal services provider.
