I am considering making a proposition to the partners at my firm to take over our satellite office and make it my own whereby I would be associated but not employed by the firm. Lots of factors at play making this a good idea for all, but I need help on how to structure the plan and present it so it’s mutually beneficial and attractive to them. Anyone done anything similar and willing to chat/help me come up with a plan? Or do I need some kind of business coach and how would I find one?

Can anyone clarify the difference between business analyst and data analyst? I see them used both together and separately so much it’s so confusing for those new to data world

So I got invited to do an on-site interview and as part of it, the hiring manager wants me to present some of the chemistry I'm currently working on. The problem is all my work has been government contracted and hasn't been published, so due to confidentiality I can't present any complete schemes or specific structures. Any tips on how to ace this presentation?

Any recommendations for a deposition service company that’s relatively inexpensive? I’ve used Veritext in the past

I started my firm recently (immigration) and am a true solo. I have experience in a few very specific case types and do lots of research, but don't have enough experience to easily strategize for each consult. I know this will come in time as I do more types of cases and have a background of knowledge to pull from, but I need to grow my business too. I think hiring a very capable paralegal would be the best option, but I'm paying myself 1k a week. I doubt I'd be able to pay an employee. Ideas?

Solo that has outgrown DIY document management/billing. Looking to make the leap to an integrated document management and billing software system. Clio is the front runner based on my research to date (I have not yet taken it for the free test drive). Anyone else have any recommendations? Any obvious shortcomings/downfalls with Clio? I worked at large firms before going it alone and have used several of the major doc management systems. Thanks!

Do you give/get a bonus at the end of the year AND on your yearly review/hire date? So essentially two bonuses a year? Or just one bonus a year?

Met Life Legal Plan has been a recent add. I have picked up a few probates, but have to bill for endless consults and doc review that yield less than 120$ per transaction which is not doing it. There is a category for up to 400$ for 4 hrs for items not covered. Have any used that category or I am being too conservative in submissions for billing.

I started my own practice, it feels like 40-50% biz development/ admin work. 30% practicing law and 10% coffee breaks. Anyone else? Mind you it’s a corporate practice so ALOT of calls that sometimes turn into nothing.

Any international trade/customs lawyers out there? Would love to pick your brain and learn about an easy way for a solo to break into this field.

I'm glad that partner track came out so big law attorneys finally have some media figure to look up to. I was tired of hogging it with better call Saul

I see a lot of opportunities to do contract reviews or other corporate matters in states I’m not barred in. I don’t typically take those matters, but I’m curious what those rules are. I’ve definitely seen large firms handle out of state contracts and acquisitions all the time and I actually know other attorneys who do it too. I just haven’t gotten comfortable with that. Anyone have thoughts?

I recently left my big law role to start my own firm, and I need health insurance since that was a benefit with my prior firm. Any tips on where to find good coverage? Is it considered a business expense or a tax deduction? I don’t anticipate to be making much income this first year if that makes a difference.

I have my own practice for past 5 years and have spent a lot of time building up brand and reputation. I'm thinking of bringing on partners but am trying to figure out how to structure compensation, profit sharing and equity while maintaining control. I dont want to do associates bc I need someone with more experience than I can afford. Does anyone have any ideas on how one can up a law firm?

I'm interested in starting my own firm as a 2nd-year attorney. I have experience in personal injury and general business law. Not sure what practice areas would be viable as a solo. Any thoughts?

I’m seriously considering starting up a solo shop. I have a very reliable stream of business (family friend has one patent that was infringed multiple times, huge firms have taken a few of these on contingency). Pros: I don’t have law school debt; I could follow these large firm’s general trajectory in prosecuting these cases; high risk tolerance (no kids, mortgage, etc). Cons: I’m inexperienced generally (class of 2019), and not familiar with patent law specifically. Thoughts?

Does anyone else get super annoyed at having to provide the same information , documents or research to a partner numerous times? Even copying the assigned secretary doesn’t help because they just regurgitate the request rather than saying “hey she gave this to you already”. Sometimes I respond with massive attitude and then have to rewrite because I need my job…lol.

I'm a solo bringing in Associate to become partner. Associate has been compensated with a base salary, plus 1/3 of earnings for business he brings in. Firm expenses are around 55-60% of gross revenue. He brings in around 30% of revenue. How best can I bring him in, and at what percentage to be fair? Was thinking 20%, with 5% incremental increases as his business grows hopefully to greater than 30% of total revenue. Thoughts?

How much are you charging for business formations? Are you charging the same for out of state formations/clients?
