Elevate is changing the way legal services are delivered. We’re looking for creative, innovative lawyers and other professionals who want to make a difference.

Elevated Lawyers are highly experienced lawyers with backgrounds in top law firms and in-house legal departments, who have chosen not to follow a traditional career path, but to join Elevate as a new provider of legal services. This allows our clients to hire the right person, at the right time, for the right piece of work, without going down the only two traditional routes available to them in the past: increasing their permanent headcount or appointing outside counsel. The ability to hire the very specific [nine year PQE, M&A expert in the telecoms sector that speaks mother tongue Italian] for a period of just [four months] to work on site within your own legal department, is the way that Elevate extends and enables an in-house legal team to deliver exactly the result it needs to, in an efficient and cost effective manner.
