Working in a law firm can be a great step in your career.
Until its not.
Having lawyers work alongside you, learning new skills and the collegiate atmosphere can be fun until you realise:
- You are doing work that is repetitive.
- You have stopped learning new things
- You are not getting to speak to the client directly
- A partner is taking the credit for all your work and all of the fees
- You are not being paid what you are worth.
- You are spending valuable time away from your family
- You feel your life slipping away…
The experience of working for someone else is valuable, but it may not be the best choice forever. There may come a time when you would like to run your own show.
Imagine this:
Working at times that suit you. Whether that be starting early, finishing early or taking an unplanned day off during the week. Having control over your own time.
- Access to experienced lawyers when you get stuck. Being able to ask someone about a difficult matter, client or situation and getting advice backed by 30+ years of experience.
- Running your matters your own way.
- Having complete access to all your clients, all the time.
- Taking home 100% of what you bill (after expenses).
Taking the leap from employed solicitor to principal of your own firm is a big one. But there is a way to do it without having to build a practice from the ground up, starting from scratch. Join our network of law firms that benefit from centralised marketing and resources (including precedent libraries) and start enjoying the benefits of your own legal practice from the beginning. Your chance at freedom begins today!
