Free Webinar

Everything you wanted to know about locuming—but were too afraid to ask.

Join Jonathan Fagan and Emma Ireland on Wednesday 18 November 2026, from 1–2pm, for a practical free webinar on hourly rates, finding work and making locuming work for you.

Thinking about becoming a locum solicitor or legal executive? Perhaps you are attracted by the flexibility, interested in your earning potential or wondering how to secure your first assignment.

Whatever your starting point, understanding how the locum market works can help you decide your next step. This webinar will explore the opportunities and practical realities of locum work, with time to put your questions to Jonathan and Emma.

What will we cover?

Hourly rates and earning potential
What influences the rates you can achieve? We will discuss how to approach hourly rates and what to consider when assessing your potential earnings.

Finding locum work
Where do you start, and how do you secure assignments? We will look at finding opportunities and putting yourself forward for locum roles.

Building a successful locum career
What do firms look for in a locum? We will explore making a good impression, building relationships and developing a reputation that encourages repeat bookings.

Making locuming work for you
Flexibility is part of the appeal, but it takes planning. We will discuss balancing assignments, income and time away from work, including the possibility of gaps between contracts.

Your questions answered

The free webinar includes a Q&A session. Whether your question is about getting started, discussing rates or the day-to-day experience of working as a locum, this is your opportunity to ask.

Who should attend?

The session is aimed at solicitors and legal executives considering locum work, as well as those already locuming who would like to make more of their experience.

You do not need to have decided to become a locum to attend. If you are simply exploring your options, you are welcome to join us.
