Evolving your career to give you more time, more reward, and more life.
If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way to work as a solicitor – one that gives you more control over your time, your clients, and your earnings – you’re not alone.
I became a consultant solicitor about a decade ago and immediately experienced the freedom to work how, when, and where I wanted. That flexibility transformed my life, my future business and my earnings.
I would love to talk to you about evolving your career, not upending it. At The Jonathan Lea Network, we help solicitors transition into consultancy with the structure, support, and guidance to lead them towards more flexibility, more freedom, and more income, while keeping the best parts of their current practice.

How It Works

- You have full control over your workload, location, and schedule.
