Any tips for building a client base from scratch? I’m a 4th year associate at a firm of 12 attorneys.

Associates are not referred business, even cold calls, and so far “networking” events like Chamber of Commerce luncheons have been a bust. I equate a book to autonomy and career choice and pressure is on.
