A portfolio career is no longer an alternative legal career; it is no longer something to fill a gap between “real” jobs.

It is a conscious choice that puts YOU in the driver’s seat. It is a realisation that you no longer have to choose between a law department or a law firm – you can take the best elements of both.

Around the world, people are taking this moment to reevaluate their priorities and make a change; and now more than ever, exceptional Talent is choosing this 3rd career path.

From a hiring perspective, now more than ever, GCs and AGCs realize that candidates with a portfolio of non-permanent roles on their resumes are not something to raise an eyebrow at, but rather something that signifies a diversity of experience and unparalleled fresh perspective. Law Firm partners realize that people who have worked in multiple legal departments make far better secondees than Associates who have only ever known the culture of Big Law.

Demand for YOU has never been higher.

Just as the market is evolving, so too is ElevateFlex; we’ve spent time over the last year asking ourselves – and many of you – what are the key elements that make up a platform on which you can build your career?

We have invested in designing a program of benefits to support and enhance your career path and personal goals. We want to work with you to understand your strengths, ensure you take a paid vacation, have access to training and CLE’s.   We want to provide you with a network of colleagues and experts for knowledge sharing.   We want to cover your work from home expenses, and – although many of you will look to us to guide you from role to role – recognize those of you who choose to be entrepreneurial where it should be remembered – in your wallet.

We’re excited to share this with you. Stay tuned for updates before the September 2021 launch.

Until then, if you’d like to speak to one of our Talent Managers, please reach out to us. We’d love to connect and share our reimagined future with you!
