Welcome
to Crime Solicitor Legal Recruitment, offering personal & confidential
criminal law job search services online to criminal solicitors seeking
positions in the UK. We recruit for duty solicitors with the MCQ qualification
(duty solicitor status), solicitors and barristers with higher rights
of audience, VHCC Supervisors, Serious Fraud panel members, white
collar crime specialists, in house advocates, police station accredited
representatives and solicitors with or without the police station
accreditation qualification (PSQ). We have specialist knowledge of
criminal law jobs and have been assisting crime lawyers since April
2000. As ex-criminal defence solicitors and now specialist legal recruitment
consultants, we have a good knowledge of law firms and potential roles
for a criminal solicitor across the UK.
Update
for 2024 rotas - firms have been recruiting
from a rapidly diminishing pool of duty solicitors on the basis that
you will need to be working for at least 2 days a week or 14 hours
weekly for a firm and looking for full and part time duty solicitors.
We understand that the rota slots will be in the name of the firm
rather than the duty solicitor but if we are wrong with this please
let us know. There are both salaried and consultancy roles available
this year. Most roles involve either a monthly retainer plus hourly
rate, or a salaried post.
Rumours
abound of freelance consultants earning around £55,000 per annum
by taking deals for 70-75% profit share on files, although these are
not verified. We have heard unverified horror stories of duty solicitors
needing to work part time in other roles to supplement their income
just to remain in the profession and other stories about dodgy criminal
law firms taking on duty solicitors only to dismiss them and try to
keep their slots. What a mess respective governments and the LAA have
made of the system.
We
posted the relevant provisions from the 2017 crime contract for employment
status of duty solicitors on the Ten Percent Legal Recruitment website
- click here.

Suitable for salaried duty solicitors, freelance duty solicitors and
duty solicitors looking to sign their rota slots to a firm and do
the minimum hours required.
There
is a guidance letter from the Legal Services Commission here detailing
the minimum requirements for these types of arrangements a few years
ago. The LSC (now the LAA) very kindly wrote to us - not sure how
they got the time, what with all the other pressures, like rebranding,
working out where next to chop rates and discussing their performance...
