Work worthy of your expertise.

We partner with exceptional lawyers who want high-quality work with modern in-house teams, whether that is a full-time interim assignment, an ongoing fractional arrangement, a few hours a month, a role in a managed team or a permanent move.

If you value flexibility, interesting mandates and being part of a well-run network, we would like to hear from you.

We connect you with roles that align with your experience and preferences. No endless interviews, no unsuitable roles, just well-run matches with teams who value your expertise. We keep our panel deliberately curated, with matching technology working behind it, so every lawyer receives support, repeat work and genuine partnership.

THE DIFFERENCE

A better way to work

Roles matched to your experience and working style, not just your availability

Interim, fractional, managed team and permanent roles, full-time down to a few hours a month

Clear terms and a quick, professional setup, with our side of the paperwork handled properly

A long-term partnership focused on your career, not just filling a gap

HOW MATCHING WORKS

Fewer approaches, better suited

Our matching technology means we identify quickly when a brief genuinely fits you. It also means you are not approached about work that does not. Every introduction is still made by a lawyer who has read the brief and spoken to the client.

WORK WITH US

What we look for

The lawyers we work with have practised at a high standard, in leading commercial firms or in-house teams, and have the commercial judgement to operate independently from day one.

We place at every level, so the question is calibre rather than years. If that sounds like you and a flexible, well-supported career appeals, we would like to talk.

As part of NOVA8, you gain access to a global network and a broad range of mandates across the UK, Europe, Singapore, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Clients know how the panel is put together, which tends to count for something when your name goes forward

YOUR PROFILE

A profile that works while you do

When you join the panel you set up and own your profile, including your practice area, sector, jurisdictions, level, in-house experience, rate, how you like to work and, above all, when you are next available. It takes a few minutes.

It sits in a structured dataset we curate and maintain, rather than a CV in somebody’s inbox.

Keeping your availability current is the single most useful thing you can do to hear about the right work first. When a brief fits, it appears in your profile and you tell us in one click whether it is of interest. Fewer approaches that miss, and the ones that land reach you faster.
