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.

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...
