Join Scott-Moncrieff as a freelance lawyer in 2022

Are you looking for a more rewarding, flexible and profitable legal career? Scott-Moncrieff & Associates could be the solution you are looking for. 

In 1987, Lucy Scott-Moncrieff was looking for a way to combine flexible legal practice with motherhood and so set up virtual law firm Scott-Moncrieff Associates. While the firm started out specialising in health and human rights law, word has spread over the years about the benefits of working as a freelance lawyer. Now the firm has expanded into many other practice areas. 

Freedom for lawyers

Scott-Moncrieff & Associates offers a new and unique way for lawyers to work. The structure of the virtual and dispersed law firm allows lawyers to take control of their own careers and is unlike any law firm structure before it. 

Lucy said:

“I have spoken about how we work to lawyers all over the world, and no-one has ever said that they knew of anyone who had done anything like it before.”

“I am very interested in equality and diversity in law firms, and our way of working is one in which everyone can flourish, including people with caring responsibilities and those who want to pursue other interests alongside legal practice.”

Our approach to the law also enables our lawyers to work in a way best suited to their strengths. Freelance lawyers can spend less time on administrative matters related to a traditional law firm structure, and more time on client work and building relationships. The advantages a virtual law firm can bring is now recognised, with many traditional law firms adopting some of the practices Scott-Moncrieff implemented over 30 years ago. 

However, we continue to push forward and strive for improvements in client service, and a  better working lives for our lawyers. 

Culture of excellence 

Nurturing and maintaining the guiding principles of excellence in client service has been a vital part of the firm’s success. The firm has grown incrementally over the years, which has meant that every lawyer has had the guidance and support required to adjust and thrive in this new way of working. 

The firm has attracted an excellent calibre of lawyers, many of whom are recognised as leaders in their respective fields. As an innovative, virtual law firm, Scott-Moncrieff naturally attracts independent, driven and passionate lawyers. Some of our lawyers deal with ground-breaking cases and are recognised in the profession and in the media as being the best at what they do. 

Although we take pride in our commitment to excellence, it is also important to us that our virtual firm is a friendly, approachable and accessible place to work. We are collegiate and supportive, so you need never feel like you are working alone. Find out more and get to know our team.
