Thinking of Going Small Firm/Solo

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 29, 2016 5:42 pm

Been doing biglaw corporate for a couple of years. Think I want to go the small firm/solo route because I feel like my personality is better suited to being actively involved in all aspects of deals plus I like the financial upside of being my own boss.

Need ideas on how to get started with this.

You do realize that your big law firm's corporate clients aren't going to hire you, right? So what kind of clients do you expect to land as a solo practitioner?
