Flexibility used to be a compromise. It meant stepping off the path, taking a pay cut, or sacrificing high-quality work. Not anymore. Today, legal professionals are reimagining what a successful career can look like—and TR Plus is helping lead the way.

TR Plus is Taylor Root’s dedicated portfolio brand for flexible legal resourcing. It connects high-calibre legal, compliance, risk, and legal operations professionals with impactful, project-based assignments at top-tier organisations. Whether you’ve recently finished a permanent role and are assessing your career ambitions, or actively choosing a more agile career path, TR Plus gives you the freedom to work on your terms—without compromising on quality.

Why flexible work is on the rise?

The legal industry is changing. Remote work, rapid regulatory shifts, and a new generation of legal talent have made flexibility not just acceptable, but desirable. Professionals want variety, ownership, and balance—and they want to keep working at the top of their game.

TR Plus assignments offer all of that. You’ll work with global businesses, high-growth startups, and leading institutions on meaningful projects—from regulatory change initiatives to internal investigations, data privacy work, and operational transformations.

What makes a TR Plus assignment different?

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every TR Plus assignment is scoped carefully with both the client and the secondee in mind. We look for alignment not just in skills, but in culture, goals, and working style.

And while you’re working with a TR Plus client, you’re not alone. You’ll have a dedicated TR Plus Consultant supporting you throughout the assignment—checking in, providing guidance, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Who we’re looking for

TR Plus is built for legal professionals who are adaptable, commercially minded, and motivated by variety. Many of our secondees have Big Law or in-house backgrounds and are looking for work that challenges them, without the rigidity of a traditional permanent role.

You might be exploring portfolio career options, or balancing work with other priorities. Whatever your reason, TR Plus offers the structure and support to make flexible work feel seamless.

The best of both worlds

Because TR Plus is powered by Taylor Root, you don’t have to choose between flexibility and opportunity. Our consultants understand the full range of legal career paths, and we offer clear communication whether you’re exploring assignments or open to permanent roles.

This model is a key differentiator from traditional ALSPs. It means we can represent your skills fully, and help you transition between interim and permanent roles as your needs evolve.
