“Illume is different to other consultancy firms I’ve come across, there is a huge amount of support, both in terms of admin, billing and client care as well as cooperation between the consultants to provide a seamless service that isn’t at the expense of individuals’ lives outside of work. I cannot recommend illume highly enough for experienced, independent lawyers looking for a way to balance the competing demands of career fulfilment with a busy home life.” Emma Boorman, a corporate consultant We are looking for lawyers who:

  • were with City or national firms and inhouse;
  • have been on a career break;
  • want to return to work on an any-time basis; and
  • had over 10 years PQE before their career break.

About illume Awarded 2021 Most Innovative Corporate Law Firm London by Corporate Today Magazine Global Business Awards illume was founded in January 2017 by Kate Partridge and Michelle Harris, two former City lawyers who could see that New Law had much to offer the world of corporate transactions. They believed the legal profession needed a shake-up – for the benefit of both clients and lawyers alike. At illume we use the latest technology and flexible working practices to deliver the very best service for our clients and the optimum work/ life balance for our lawyers. Our lawyers combine technical brilliance with commercial acumen – we understand that clients don’t want their lawyers to just recite the law to them at their expense, they want their lawyers to work in partnership with them and to become part of their team as trusted business advisors. Many of our clients have been with us for a long time and our lawyers have become their indispensable “external, in-house counsel”. illume’s lawyers are all consultants, entrepreneurs in their own right. They understand business, because they run their own. Our flexible business model allows us to provide City quality advice and experience without the City price tag. We understand that price transparency is absolutely key for our clients. Put simply, we are the very best bits of a City law firm but our clients don’t have to contend with lawyers trying to meet their billable hours targets, the City law firm overheads or the antiquated structure. We are illume.
